Augusta Music History 101 - May 26, 1962
James Brown hits #5 on the R&B charts and #35 on the pop charts with the song “Night Train”. Originally created in parts in the 40’s as “That’s the Blues, Old Man” and “Happy-Go-Lucky Local” by Duke Ellington band member Johnny Hodges and Ellington himself, “Night Train”, complete with vocal accompaniment, would first become a #1 R&B hit for former Ellington sideman Jimmy Forrest in 1952. Brown’s 1962 version would later be sampled for hip hop and dance tracks by Public Enemy in 1991 and Kadoc in 1996.
