For me he's a soul man. Soul Brother #1.
On the other hand when it came to funk, he rewrote the rules of rhythm.
Songs that began with 'Out Of Sight' and 'Papas Got A Brand New Bag' and on to 'Cold Sweat' and 'Get Up' made him much more than The Godfather Of Soul.
He's a one off..."unnnh"..."Good God".
"Don't just say, Ow, say, "OOOWWWW!!"
Bone rattling soul.

EDIT: One of the greatest live albums ever. Recorded in October 1962...'Live At The Apollo'
