I was traveling today and heard an interview he did  
last year on NPR and they played a song he recorded
(the name of the title escapes me,something like
What Kind Of Fool Am Imaybe somebody know's what I'm talking about)
and I never realized what a tremendously soulful voice he had.
I was amazed.
I'd never heard the song before but it was very much different than the real percussive feel he usually employed.
What a talent.

That Sex Machine vid was wild.  I was watching thinking How can those people just be sitting? then he got everyone to Get on up Haha.  
 
I had to watch the mike stand toss/splits move several times too.  That man's feet never stopped moving.  Awesome!  Thank you for posting that!
