#ReadySteadyGo #60sMusic #OtisRedding #Stax A 1966 live performance from Ready Steady Go! & it's fabulous. I Can't Turn You Loose - Otis Redding This is a snippet from a medley he performed - hence the abrupt start/finish in the clip. Love the dancing & clapping in the audience - obviously! 😜
![Readers' comments from the Record Mirror (March 26, 1966):
Title: James Brown - ' good ... pathetic ... disgusting ... rubbish!'
I MUST write to you about James Brown. After watching him on R.S.G., last Friday. | feel there must be only one word to describe his performance . . . RUBBISH! Just because he happens to be able to tear his throat out, screaming, everyone raves over him. Eric Burdon's got more soul than Brown's ever dreamed of! And those three blokes prancing around behind him must be very highly pald to make fools of themselves like that. His band were quite good.
We had the misfortune on Friday to witness one of the most puerile, Infantile and untalented exhibitions of American imported so-called talent. We refer to, of course, the James Brown ““Show'' on RSG. For a British Television Company lo turn over one of the best shows on television to what can be only called a '‘ravin’ lunatic and his band, without seeing what he had to offer, shows how
brainwashed producers have become about American popular music personalities. Mr, James Brown had absolutely nothing to offer, was disgusting and embarrassing to watch, and couldn't even sing. if that Is what he was
supposed to do. and for the audience to rave as they pretended to do. shows how the lunatic/fringe will dress up and show off and accept anything as long as they are on television. Instead of RSG we suggest Mr. Brown would be more suited to Zoo time or Dr. Who [...]](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/114/840/533/274/260/838/small/864ff895d7d97bf3.jpg)
