My first live concert was Ike and Tina Turner in 1964 Mpls. My 2nd was James Brown in 1966. I was 16! I came home after midnight and got a beatin from my Grandma 😢😂 It was worth it. Still jammin to James at 73...get it girl!🎉
Yes Marc the greatest lmao 🤣 😂 😆 James was being his dam self 🤣 😂 we still had and have a lot more James is so happens to be one on top of the list 👍 😀
Legendary YES!!!...But the greatest entertainer is without question Sammy Davis Jnr. Nobody in history even comes close. Though one can argue and I accept that Mr James Brown was The Godfather Of Soul, greatest master of soul and arguably funk.
@@RashidLanie8 Michael Jackson was the Greatest Entertainer of all Time dude yall delusional sammy and James were great Yes but Michael watched those greats and became greater nobody sang with such emotion since childhood to adulthood and danced like Michael Jackson danced not to mention that he sold more records and broke more records and won more awards than any other artist in History just Google who the Greatest Entertainer was and it will say Michael Jackson. Even Barry Gordy the founder of motown records said at michaels memorial service that he believes Michael was the greatest entertainer of all time. It ain't a argue or debate of opinion its simply the truth.
The man was possessed by the spirit, funk incarnate, his moves, his falsetto, he personified physical charisma. His live performances put others to shame, this band was so tight it was waterproof, like a ship of soul.
I don't know what years you saw Mr. but if it was in the early 60s in person like I did he was twice as good as he was in 1974 he moved faster than your eyes could see even the camera could hardly catch his moves truly the KING OF THEM ALL
Seen him when I was a teenager. I am now 64 and I have never seen a performer like him since that show. I was speechless at the energy and intensity of the performance. No fireworks, no dancer., just a very gifted man and his band. It was amazing. 180 minutes of unbelievable talent on display. One very very talented man and those amazing musicians
The Greatest entertainer of the 20th Century. No one can equal this man's Energy, passion and HEART. If he were around NOW, things in this country between all of us, Black and White would be so Much better. This guy's SOUL overwhelms and DESTROYS our differences. We NEED him NOW!!!!! PLEASE man!!!!!
They don't call him the Hardest Working Man in Show Business for nothing! Always left everything on the stage. A complete inspiration for me. You owe your audience for their time and attention- over match the crowd's energy with your own. International star concert, corporate presentation, teaching a class of 4th graders- the lesson is timeless. Tap your inner James Brown :)
Lol....love it. Worried you'll struggle to get through a day of teaching.....just do it like JB,.....work that room and feel that soul power do its thing! If you can muster .001% of that inner JB, those kids will be just fine.
@@deniseeugene1852 stevies concerts are amazing music wise but not as energetic as James browns concert since James was all over the stage doing splits n stuff. Stevie kinda just sits at the piano or keyboard which is understandable
The artist is gone, but the art remains eternal! When the job is well done and with excellent results, it lasts !! thank you Mr Brown !! L'artiste est parti, mais l'art reste éternel ! Quand le travail est bien fait et excellemment porteur il perdure !! merci Mr Brown !!
American black music is so revolucionary! Michael Jackson, James Brown, Charles Bradley, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and many others, they sing straight to my heart. They could only come from America, 'cause it's about talent but it's about business as well, and as usual. These are true legends.
One of the greatest and best world's dancer, singer and songwriter of all times! JB was born in the beat, raised in the beat, lived and died in the beat. In this Zaire concert he shook the whole continent of Africa because Africa loves James Brown. Oh man I was just a tiny boy and wet behind the ears in '74 but watching this video brings it all up as if I was there! ❤😂
I have always said that if I was stuck on a desert island and could only have one artist's music while there, it would be James Brown. I would be a dancing happy castaway. good lord y'all
This man was the "hardest working man in show biz". What a man and great songs and moving on stage. Great band and dancers. This is superb! Soul/funk at its best!!!
People forget that Prince and Michael modeled themselves after parts of his artistry. That alone should tell you all you need to know. Listen to that voice and look at those moves. He was still doing this in the 2000's! Who is the greatest performer?
People forget JB was not only the greatest entertainer of the last century but he was socially contious and was a great business man, being one of the first entertainers to own his own private plane that he toured on and owning radio stations arround the country, etc.. He was a genius…
This man did a split and got back up just in time to catch the falling mic-stand with his shoulder and remained in rhythm to say the same part of the song , now that's bad!
I didn't grow up with James Brown music, I'm an MJ fan and I always heard him say his idol was James. I SEE WHY NOW HOLY CRAP. I just got electrified through the screen. This man's swag and moves are mystifying, he is one of a kind. Much respect to you Mr. Brown.
Oh, look for the biography that was written about him... he's an amazing dude that overcame a TON of hurdles. I miss the sentiment of the 70s wher epeople were happy to be themselves and didn't mess with other people out of anger. There was a sense of everyone just getting over it all then... Vietnam, the counterculture movement that fractured society, all of it. People felt comfortable enough to goof on racism and inequality openly, and now it's just whining without solutions being offered. Just more whining.
WE as african americans must remember all the people that came before us James Brown was not only a musician but he politically supported us when the real stuff was going down!RIP
Smithson Manu Black American lineage derives from the indigenous Black tribes in southern North America and the 380,000 Hebrew slaves imported to America who were originally from Judaea. Learn truth my guy
@@brnalegend3220 doesn't matter where you originated from. Matters who you are right now. Majority of blacks in this country have no idea what the culture is like in Africa
His drummer was playin’ in the cut so deep you’d need a vascular surgeon to dig that brotha out!! The Godfather always had the very best musicians playing with him!! RIP JB!
Financially, I wonder how they were able to tour and make enough money to keep that many players together and that synchronized. That had to take a ton of time rehearsing.
Michael J /Hey bro, like the comment. From what I’ve heard James didn’t pay all that great. And some of the guys would get hit with all kinds of chickenshit fines. If they missed a note he thought should’ve been played or if they missed a count off or were a minute or two late they got fined. Not to mention he rarely paid them for rehearsals and there were times they had to wait weeks to get paid after gigs, so he went through a lot of musicians. But that was James!
People this is what a " True Entertainer " looks like !! He will never be replaced, Thank God for RUclips and the Internet He will be seen by Generations to come..... The one and the only " GODFATHER of SOUL " R.I.P. My Brother, R.I.P............

If you are watching this now and want to learn more about why he was in Zaire in 1974, look for the documentary film "When We Were Kings"! I saw him in a concert in the early 1970s in Germany and have been a fan ever since! (Good Lord, I am THAT old!) He was the best... truly the Godfather of so many artists that followed him!
Godfather of soul. The 70's was the ultimate!
James Brown le chanteur de tout les temps qui sont d'accord avec moi

There are no showmen like this left. There are no shows like this left. Thanks for the show
James Brown is second to none there's no other
Rumble in the jungle ..I was some months old
I graduated high school May 1974. This man and his band set the record stores and house parties on fire
Same here .1974.
R.I.P to The Almighty Godfather Of Soul and The Great Danny Ray.

He brought it all EVERY TIME 2023 just turned 50. Still makes me want to dance!!!
Loving that outfit that Sistah Girl Dancer is wearing! Gotta get something like that for a 70's party!!

Saw JB at the Apollo waaaay back in the day...
Its kind of tough. Bruce Lee or James Brown.
Nós do Rio de Janeiro curtimos muito Braun 😊😊😊😊😊
MR.BROWN DEFINITELY WAS A PERFORMER HE DEFINITELY WAS THE BEST=AND THAT'S A FACT

When I'm watching James Brown, I remember always of Michael Jackson. Michael loved this man so much. Rest in peace to both of you.
One of the greatest and best world's dancer, singer and songwriter of all times! JB was born in the beat, raised in the beat, lived and died in the beat. In this Zaire concert he shook the whole continent of Africa because Africa loves James Brown. Oh man I was just a tiny boy and wet behind the ears in '74 but watching this video brings it all up as if I was there! ❤😂
That's the continent of our ancestors. Big ups to the motherland.
Ladies and gentlemans! Mr. Jamesssssssss Brownnnnnnnnnn ..............................................................
I'm watching this in 2022 I miss the old music we never gonna feel good without James brown
I was lucky enough to see him live twice. The rumors are true. Best shows i've ever seen.
It was in Kinshasa, the capital of the today Democratic Republic of the Congo. And it was simply great.
Man we danced our azz off in those funky days and nights.
That denim outfit that Sistah is rocking is FANTASTIC!! I would rock that 40 years later!! 💘 👗 👡 💃 👩
