James Brown calls Rod “best white soul singer”

Godfather of Soul James Brown has named Rod Stewart the world’s “best white soul singer”.
Stewart claimed that Brown told him backstage at one of the latter’s concerts.

“That’s what James Brown told me. I was very flattered,” Stewart said. “I went backstage to say hello and he was in very good spirits. Seemed to be all there still upstairs. His knees are playing him up and I told him I’ve got the same problem.”
