Sunday night at the Dakota, a local crew of funk and soul music revivalists joined forces with two old-school funk icons to pay tribute to the musical force of nature that was the late James Brown. Twin Cities-based Sonny Knight and the Lakers were joined by 77-year old drummer John "Jabo" Starks, and trombonist Fred Wesley, who is 72, both of whom were key sidemen for the Godfather of Soul.
