Thank you Scott this is fascinating, Alan is a great story teller with great memory, letting him speak makes fantastic listening.
Alan Leeds is a legend Eric is too.
Incredible stories and first hand thoughts on working with James Brown and Prince.
Again, lots of great stories and information. Alan is so good at taking you there where he was all those years ago and painting the picture with all the emotion. He does not hold back. You get such a sense of who the people were that he worked so closely with and got to know so well. I'ts like sitting at the kitchen table listening to an uncle's adventure.
Omg! This is interesting stuff. Lol James was brutal.
Wow! Fascinating and inspirational. Great interview!
This might need to be a 10 part interview. 😊
Hold up: after saying that Michael Jackson was backstage during the 1999 tour stop in Long Beach, you're going to make me wait until NEXT WEEK for more?? (34:32) I'm DYING here! LOL.

@@FunknstuffNet Thanks, Can't wait!! Greetings from Australia.
I'm sure you know. Brown got Thurgood Marshall to get him out of Vietnam.
James Brown for me is one of my fave artists of all time. Love James Brown but 1965 to 1975 was his golden era. Everything he did was in that great era. Later James Brown band felt watered down. It lost its Character.
