Добавлен 20 авг 2019
On October 10, 2019 the family of Oscar Brown, Jr. launched the Official RUclips Channel dedicated to his music and artistic legacy. This will serve as a beacon for the activities and discoveries centered around the Oscar Brown, Jr. Archive Project (OBJ AP). The OBJ AP has accelerated as a result of support from Dan Logan of the Revada Foundation. His initial philanthropic support was established in 2018. An Artists Residency was developed for Maggie Brown and Africa Brown to work as community partners at the Reva & David Logan Center for the Arts. The Residency supported the digitization, transcription and presentation of OBJ’s works utilizing the facilities and staff support at the R & D Logan Center for the Arts on the University of Chicago campus.This support has granted the two Brown sisters an opportunity to energize their on-going work to preserve and present the works of their iconic progenitor.
The Logan Center Residency was conducted from August, 2018 thru June 2019.

Oscar Brown Jr.'s. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT song
If the USA was a failed country, you think we would have an immigration problem??
Sad but true 😱😱
I’m late to the party, but at least I made it.❤❤
WORD
Sacred
Magnificent!
Website is merely a parody site by some right wing nutter during the bush era 0:09 don’t embellish as it strengthens conservatives arguments against leftists. This is no government traitor list, those are fbis most wanted list and other agencies who would have those kind of list. Also for what it’s worth Oscar makes good music, it’s a shame that trump reading the snake is the reason I found this, mind blown that Oscar and trump are polor opposites yet trump seems to be Oscar’s biggest fan at least when it comes to the snake. Oscars version sounds more like it’s about a woman taking in someone with bad intention and getting hurt, not about immigrants but is there something relevant in that context too or no? Thought provoking, controversial 🤔
Thanks for posting.
Excellent.
Yeah That hit nail on the head!
May they both rest in peace!
I really enjoyed working with him we had a very good time I love hearing this thank you
My Brother
I was always happy about him and his son and his daughters they meant a lot to me and I was so blessed
This Maestro is Epic
What tricky trades may I have tried had I not laid preoccupied?
Helluva line! What all escapes a ladies' man...

...an absolute masterpiece. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing
❤️❤️
a joyful celebration of reality by a brilliant writer and performer with a delicious sense of humor I don't think it was, but the band's opening number TASTED like a medley of a few dozen pieces I'd never heard but just a line or two of each an exquisitely complex composition I'll be checking out the website
Brilliant!
Ama-zing!
I'm just realizing in 2022 this was pretty much the original skeleton for "Persimmon Man" by the Funky Wordsmyths..... man I miss those days
Apollo brought me here!

I saw Oscar III and Oscar Jr perform with a big band in Ojai. CA. That was a great show. I saw Oscar Jr several other times but the show in Ojai was the best. Oscar III you are still missed. And of course Jr, too. j

How can I get This album I lost this in the movements of life and need it bad
That's what I'm talking 'bout!
A VERY ESSENTIAL group of Chicago artists here... Maggie, Bobo and Coco...and of course, not featured in this clip...the Great Oscar Brown, Jr.!! I bear witness..Tunji, Chicago, USA
I saw them one of the nights the pianist didn't show...I believe it was in Long Beach or thereabouts. The show was great. III is a credit to OBJr. glad to have been alive and hear them. Thanks for the video. Jake...(Southsider)
Oh wow! I would love to speak with you there is a history to this and it has to do with the fact the pianist didn't show. email us oscarbrownjrlegacy@gmail.com
Simply Fantastic!
Great number, can you post the entire album?
Phenomenal!
