Otis is the man, but can’t against JB. This is an easy choice. One of the greatest front men ever. All the moves come James Brown.

Going to fight the good fight.

Goddamnit I hate this bracket! Otis is the GOAT.

And he's losing bigly to the Godfather.

Poor poor Otis.

Poor poor Otis.

Turning into a route.

You bunch of dumb dumbs.

You bunch of dumb dumbs.

These are by far my two favorite artists in the bracket. But Jame's Brown's body of work dwarfs that of Otis.
