  • Story by: Gail Nobles

    Hello everyone. Thank you for listening to lounge show legends. It is said that there won’t be another James Brown, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t anyone else out there like him. James Brown endorsed a man by the name of Tony Wilson. He’s known as the young James Brown.

    There is another man whose real name is James Brown. He calls himself King James Brown. Both these guys are tribute artists and pays tribute to The Godfather of soul.

    We also have the son of Jackie Wilson whose name is Bobby Brooks Wilson. He’s a lot like his father and is the living legend of his father.

    There are so many imitators. I’ve only named out a few. There are some tribute artists that can look and sound so much like the original entertainers. People seem to enjoy them. I enjoy them.

    When I first started the Lounge Show, it wasn’t just about tribute artists. It was about talented artists that have the old fashioned music and style. I consider them as legends too carrying on the old style of music with their talent. They were artists that really had a voice to sing.

    God has given so many people a lot of talent. There is always somebody out there that is just as good as the best or better. They just haven’t been discovered or couldn’t make it like the ones before them. Great talent is still here, but we need people that will want and recognize great talent. We don’t see many people today like Ed Sullivan and Allen Freed. Those men enjoyed great talent and they recognized great talent. We don’t have Dick Clark’s American Bandstand anymore or Don Cornelius from Soul Train. Those were the days when we got to see all of our favorite singers on television. Today’s Music, Radio, and Television has changed. We’re living in a different era and time. But it’s so great to have those tribute artists to carry on the sound of the past that so many still love.
