[BLAST FROM THE PAST CLASSIC] —

JAMES BROWN aka God Father Of Soul - “PayBack”

Brown’s singing career began in 50’s… But today I’m paying homage to one of his R&B classics from the early 70’s entitled “PayBack”.

I’ve seen noted on various websites that the song was released in “1973”… But in actuality the album not the song was released in “1973”. “PayBack” the single was released in “1974”… I’m just remembering the first time it was played on the radio station W.I.L.D. in Boston… I wonder if that station still exists… hmmmm…

“PayBack”
Album - The PayBack
Released - 1974

“For Members Only” Jackets>

Thejacket actually was first introduced to the general public in the late 70’s, but it did not catch on or become popular until the mid 80’s.

As for me… I brought my first jacket in 1986, while I was in Korea (Serving in the military), I remember it like it was yesterday. The jacket was black and made from a satin like material… I had my name embroidered in white, above the pocket in the front and a colorful cobra embroidered on the back… It was niiiiice.

If you have memories that you would like to share regarding your “For Members Only” days… Go ahead and share those moments… :)
