James throws a little bit of full-on blues into the dance party this week, plus the usual Northern Soul and R&B dancers, one tune that veers into hokey lounge territory (but he thinks he likes it), funky angry Bobby Darin, plus one from an artist best known as an actor in things like 1977's Roots and the Deadpool movies!
