He had his own original dance moves, moving his feet like that back and forth like a shuffle and his voice didn’t sound like anyone else! He was a great performer! The Godfather of Soul and Funk! RIP James Brown
Back in the Fifties and Sixties, NOBODY called James Brown the “Godfather” AT ALL !! That was a 70s-80s thing. In the Fifties and Sixties, we called him “MISTER DYNAMITE !!”
I was 11 when I first saw this in the movie theater with my big brother. In 1965 you didn't see a lot of black people on screen. We were both blown away by his performance and became instant James Brown fans!
I saw James Brown in concert when I was a senior in high school...(Jersey City Roosevelt Stadium) Two years before his death I was his opening act. Have an autographed album...24 James Brown's Greatest Hits...looking forward to the movie about his life starring Chadwick Bosman (42) as James Brown.
James Brown was my second concert I went to in my life. I was 11 years old. It was when this was released. We were standing on our seats the whole time! The energy from this man was unbelievable. What a presence! Grew up in Michigan & on Motown (and the British invasion). The 60's /70's were the Golden era of R& B (in my opinion) Wore out the records! Thank you James Brown for an incredible time!!!
The 70's are and always will be the best decade in music history! So much different styles of music were produced and the production level was so high back then, that even today they struggle to reproduce that high quality of sound!!
This was a good cross over opportunity for James and the Flames. Much of the music was segregated back then. Believe it or not this was progress that people take for granted today.
It was his first big hit on the White charts reaching #3 in December 1965. He had white hits before but not Top 5 ones. He had, had dozens of hits on the Soul charts and had big selling albums, this song really sold him to a white audience. JB luckily did not care so much, he was helping his people, which was great. His music of the late 60s and 70s was much more conscious.
@@Moneytane1976 as a matter of fact it was this & his 1963 Live at the Apollo album which reached #2 on the pop charts that helped sell him into the white audiences
My older brother and I sat up all night watching this movie, just to watch Mr. James Brown. My mother tried to make us turn off the tv and go to bed. Then we saw this ending of the movie with my mother. She said that they sure did take their dear sweet time, to show Mr. Dynamite, James Brown, James Brown! … Then she told us to get our Ass’s to bed. My brother and I waited all night, just to watch James Brown perform. The late late movie was the last show on television. Then off went the television, by (Mom!) I’ve never forgotten about how long it took to show Mr. James Brown in this bit piece. Thank God that my brother and I, stayed up for the entire movie. Did you see the future (Batgirl) Wow!
My mom always liked james brown, and I just started watching a movie of him today as I got ready for my Mom's funeral viewing, It made me smile, listening to his music he is an inspiration to never quit, I Know my Mom would be happy watching the movie with her. I miss my mom.
I was 8yrs old when this was playing at the movies in Roanoke Va. Myself and dear brother went to see this. The movie cost .25 cents back then in 1965. Great memories watching this. Thank you for sharing...
Glad to finally find this music video performance. Imagine James walking up on Chadwick and those two clowning around. Wait till Hammer gets up there, they're gonna tear heaven up.
Who in the hell downvotes the KANG OF SOUL. I'm a georgia boy grew up with this mans music and met him when i was young. Never has there been a harder working man in showbiz
Though my folks were already grown when this came out, I still thank you God that I was not alive in these times. The agony of racism and ostracism was REAL.
This is a clip that shows---and blends ---clean cut, fresh faced youth with the funky soul sounds of the god-master, and god-father----the one And only, james Brown...
After watching the movie knowing what he was thinking and feeling when he performed this is still etched in my mind.......he hated being there!!....truth
James Brown and His Famous Flames are hot, soulful and funky as usual. Yet, no matter how many times I remember and watched this scene over the years, the audience response still rings amazingly corny and creepy. That horror movie organ sound doesn't help either. Thank God most Black, Brown, Beige and White people I know are far more hipper and funkier than these actors. Thank you James for taking America to the next level. We're a lot less corny and creepy now. At least musically!
Mas que incrível, fantástico ! James Brown Foi uma força da natureza. Um artista que inspirou gênios como Michael Jackson e Prince, merece todo o respeito do mundo.
In THE 1950's and 60's , when James Brown was lead singer of The Famous Flames, (the 3 gentlemen shown with him here), he was NOT known as "The Godfather of Soul". he was known as "MISTER DYNAMITE", and "THE HARDEST-WORKING MAN IN SHOW BUSINESS". That "Godfather Of Soul" nickname didn't come until he was an old man.
williamg2552 True. I used to see his shows at the Apollo in the mid-Sixties, and he was always introduced as “the hardest-working man in show business”. He did five acts a day at a phenomenal intensity. His acts would end with him pretending to fall to his knees in exhaustion. Two assistants would come on stage and cover him in a silk cape and help him limp off stage, but after a few steps he’d throw the cloth off and resume his dancing. They’d do this routine three times, the last with a gold-colored cape. Supporting acts weren’t bad either: Sam and Dave, Wilson Pickett ...
If you think James knew nothing of racism back your ass has been living in a cave! Learn his history, not watch movies or read a book and think ur a subject matter expert, buddy
I sang this song to myself so much when my boss had the week off. Of course, I changed one verse to "I AIN'T got you." Imagine being that _ONE_ person or thing that makes or breaks someone's day. If you guys learned your worker was in such a terrific mood when you're gone, how would you feel?
James Brown, nobody like him, EVER! I saw him in concert in that very year, couldn't afford it but wasn't going to pass up the chance, and it was mindblowing, as all his shows were. I don't know what silly show this was, but it was really nice of him to appear, must have been incredibly weird and boring.
All I keep thinking about in this scene is from "Get on Up" is the part where he says, "I'm at a honky hoedown!" 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏my favorite part
I swear
Yea😂😂😂😂😂 rest in peace godfather of soul
I feel the same way as you do.😁😁😁😁😁
I quote that all the time. One of the best parts of the movie.
He had his own original dance moves, moving his feet like that back and forth like a shuffle and his voice didn’t sound like anyone else! He was a great performer!
The Godfather of Soul and Funk!
RIP James Brown

only James Brown can wear a Christmas sweater and still look cool
Better the Michael Buble ever will. 😂🤣😅

No… no he does not
Still decisively less insane than most of his stage costumes.
And he managed to be stylish in all of them.
You can easily tell that Michael Jackson was greatly inspired by this man
Michael himself said that many times ❤

What a great comment for this video.
What film is this?
David Silva ski party
I'm sure you did.👏👏👏👏👏👏
We know why
How many people sprung their ankles trying to do the James Brown jig? I would definitely be in a cast if I tried. What a legend
The baddest man on two feet
Righteous DMH and sometimes on 1 foot when he chooses lol
Righteous DMH nah. Usain bolt
Say that man!!!!!
You rang?
DAMN RIGHT BRO!!
Man as a sax player even in 2022 that bass baritone sax is absolutely killing it
I stay up 1 2 3 o’clock just to see James do his thing 🎉🎉 the hardest working man in show business!!!!!!!❤❤
wow amazing foot movement like dancing on the wind
You got that right
Skating with skates
Yup no wonder he was a golden glove champ

"Ohhhhh hell no! I'm at a honky hoedown! Gots to figure out a way to flip this." -Chadwick Bozeman as James Brown in the movie "Get on up"
James Brown could be a great boxer with his amazing footwork skills !
He was
He was when he was a kid
I believe that was his first love and he was going in that direction until he realized he also had an amazing voice.

Wow! I can only imagine what it takes for you to draw such an audience back then. Awesome!
You had to be really really good and fresh back then. James Brown and Michael Jackson as a kid broke barriers
Love both version but this one has a subtle simplicity that grooves so hard 🔥🔥
The bass line on this version is played in a way that sounds as if it's a stand-up bass, it sounds almost hard bop/soul Jazz like.

1965? He danced his Black ass right out the door!

Maybe he was nervous .Surround by white folks.
I would have danced out the door be like bye yall i dont need yall offbeat claping on my good song
He ripped his pants on the split.😃
3:24 Not even snow could stop those feet from stepping 🙌🏼

as skinny as those legs of his looked, them pants couldn't have been too tight on him.
STYLO SNAPS he sure did

I love how the guys are by the door in case anything goes down.
