JAMES BROWN & FAMOUS FLAMES (King 6112) America Is My Home Pt, 1 (3:15) [Dynatone, BMI-Brown, Moore] This patriotic plea for brotherhood and staying in school stands in a good position to garner plenty of airplay and sales throughout the summer.

That being, according to Guy, “the legalization of 5 ball free play pingames throughout the land in every state—every operator in the nation could pick up a large number of new locations.
