This rare speech which chronicles a state of social unrest of late 1960's inner city America comes directly from the mind of a Black musician who remains one of the most influential and powerful voices of the ghetto. In an unreleased promo single for radio use, James Brown voices his inner thoughts and frustrations toward the Black community to lead them in a more positive direction in the midst of a struggle. This rare audio was contributed by Hoppy Stone of WFMU's Beware Of The Blog. Check them out for more rare audio and American history depicted through music.

Words from WFMU:

"This is a rarity: an unreleased promotional single that was probably distributed to radio stations only. There is no discographical info whatsoever (there isn't even a label on the record), but it must date from around 1967, which would be the time of national race riots that it is obviously intended to try and quell. JB had done a famous concert at Boston Garden during a severe time of unrest in '67 to 'keep people off the streets', and this little record will give you some idea of what was going through the Godfather's mind at that time, expressed in his own totally unique way! Not much more you can say about it; it speaks volumes for itself."
