...baby I can't make it without you" section and quipped, "Okay, bring out the Oscar." Maybe the songs embarrass him so much that he has to let you know how silly and cute he feels singing them. All right, but the Righteous Brothers claim to be the white interpreters of Negro soul music; the thought of James Brown, the quintessence of soul, being anything but absolutely sincere about his own music is absurd.

But in terms of broadly defined occupational categories...
