Today would have been my dad's 87th birthday. Playing James Brown for him tonight. He was a white man that played drums and loved soul, he always said, "James Brown is THE Man!
It’s the time period. The majority of the audience is white and they don’t want to be seen enjoying an African American performance because that would mean they are in political allegiance with the Civil Rights movement. James Brown sang “ Say it loud I’m black and I’m proud.”
James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince, Bobby Brown, the list goes on with all these beautiful Black men who have their special moves that will always be in style and loved by all who watched their amazing performances. We love you James Brown.
Nobody will touch they live performance for vocals.. Stage presence.. Aura and daddy cool slick asfk dance moves. My mate studied JBs dance moves I used to slag him.. Now I'm trying to study them BAR the splits man. Oozes stage presence like nobody else man. Eddie Murphy takesnthe piss out of him also.. RAW lethal
Get some.. I'M BACK I'M BACK HE'S A LEGEND What a track this is love the live version it's amazing man Super cool dude man My Irish mate in US when I used to visit him And browns slick moves down to a T until I seen the video I was like wtfk.. Now I know man James was slick asfk.
You know some entertainers as they age people lose interest in them because they're not considered hot or with it anymore, they are deemed to be out dated relics of an anachronistic musical era. I work with a silly young whipper snapper like that, ha, hahaha hahaha.And he and I are always having friendly debates regarding the music of our respective eras. However the difference between he and I is that if I hear something that I like regardless of what era it comes from if I like I like it. Him on the hand his ears are closed to anything but the music from his era . Like for instance I Iove Cardi and Bruno Mars and a lot of different people from this era. Because the beat is what enamores me to the song. But some people like the God father here will never go out of style because of the electricity he generated and his ability to reinvent himself. A few others possessed this quilty but brother James was one of the extraordinary ones. Peace and glory to this unique soul and it's my sincere wish that this wonderful brother's music. Will be heard by multitudes of people until the last man or woman walks this earth☺️.
A great performer had to practice to things that could not say or do things back before becoming performers to people. They know how it is. JB was a GREAT PERFORMER. He stayed in character of who he was inspite of the crowd
It's not that the audience were dead.. This is back in the days where when something like that was televised, the audience was NOT supposed to be acting like fools.
Just noticed. He was always into his music and did some cool stuff. His one footed shimmy looks impossible and his mic drop and catch are always fun to watch. There's always alot going on with JB.
“Everything isn’t meant for Everybody.”
This audience confirms that.
Right? What a dead audience for such an amazing performance.
Guess where I’m listening to this ? On low mind you , a cemetery
Yeah, you'd think most would be dancing. However, often Midnight Special taped before noon....
Dancing is off the devil
The female dancer is killin it, Mr. Brown is killin it, and the The JB's are killin it, and the audience needs CPR
Today would have been my dad's 87th birthday. Playing James Brown for him tonight. He was a white man that played drums and loved soul, he always said, "James Brown is THE Man!
God bless your father's memory
1:03 the way he drops into splits and then slides back to the mic in time with the horn. Why the fuck is nobody is getting up offa their thangs?!
I keep waiting for it.
JB did his thing, the crowd wasn’t in to it, but I am in Houston jamming. Who’s listening with me?
"He could have gotten more reaction from a graveyard than this audience" AMEN!!!
This is what happens when you have a predominately white audience with no feeling for rhythm!!
Come on…y’all know white folks got no kind of rhythm…lol lol
@@marvinsmith8015 😆😆
Probably a bunch of deaf people... Even 50 years later, nobody can stand idle while this plays on! Peace y'all.
@@marvinsmith801535😊
HOW...are people not standing and dancing for this!?!?
It’s the time period. The majority of the audience is white and they don’t want to be seen enjoying an African American performance because that would mean they are in political allegiance with the Civil Rights movement. James Brown sang “ Say it loud I’m black and I’m proud.”
😬They can't dance
They don t drinking 😂😂😂😂
They are those people that’s why.
Thos is literally the most funkiest song of all time performed by the great James Brown
2.40 - 2.47 I will never never never ever not be awed by Mr Brown's move there! 🎉 🔥🙌🏽🔥🎉
One thing's for certain, James Brown goes in the history books as THEE GREATEST LIVE PERFORMER OF ALL TIME!
No one comes close to his genius. He makes it looks so easy. The only one who could wear a jumpsuit like him.
KIng James used to just give us his ALL! WOW! Multiple sources of entertainment to watch and hear............Man!!!!!!!!
This was the first album I ever bought
God, I've never found a funkier song than this. If anyone has, please share!
fuck yea man!
Rufus Thomas's "Funkiest Man Alive"
Sex Machine
That walk to the stage😂😂😂
INSTEAD of "You're ALL ❤" the saying SHOULD BE "You're ALL JAMES!"
GOOD GAWD Mr. Dynamite!!! ❤
He said it and he meant it. This is timeless wisdom to live by.

J. B. was a Baaaaaaaddddd man!!! Smooth as 🧊 ice & nuthin nice.
I am listening to this one with earbuds......It is is the best version of this song because the BAND was ALL tha WAY up in that.
He's got the stellar split and definitely knows how to romance the mic
Such fabulous energy. Come on, let's get up and dance❤❤❤
Some people are just blessed with talent, that was James Brown ❤❤❤
Nobody will touch they live performance for vocals.. Stage presence.. Aura and daddy cool slick asfk dance moves.
My mate studied JBs dance moves I used to slag him.. Now I'm trying to study them BAR the splits man.
Oozes stage presence like nobody else man.
Eddie Murphy takesnthe piss out of him also.. RAW lethal
I don't see anybody in the audience getting up off that thing
This brotha snapped! King of soul and funk
James is demonstrating his amazing natural gifts, the band and the background dancers are killing it, and the audience is sleeping... sheesh...
James with the funk. And rockin' the power moe. Doesn't get better.
He could have gotten more reaction from a graveyard than this audience 😏😀
cherryl lmao I went from watching a soul train performance to this. I was wondering if they were real people
Waid Rainey yep they are not real😀
You noticed it, too! 😆
You're right. 2021 and me wanting to dance from my desk
You said that right. My goodness.
Audience is dead….JAMES IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!

BLAST EVERYTHING MR. JAMES FUNK SOUL BROTHER BROWN . THIS IS GOLD !!
I couldn't sit still listening to this and this was way before I was born
1:29 - 1:40 Why He Gotta Be So Smooth Wit That, RIP Godfather Of Soul
Why the crowd so boring? James killed this performance, man was talented no wonder MJ looked up to him. R.I.P to both legends
SOMEONE SAID THIS IS AL SHARPON
@@1955teddy lol who said that? 😂
The crowd is not boring..people were more reserved back then compared to today's crowds.
This dead audience didn't deserve a live performance from the extraordinary JB.
My sentiments exactly
Yeah, I am surprised most of the crowd was not dancing. But "Midnight Special" often did taping before noon.
Maaaannnnnnnnnn crowd was terrible
ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS!
who can shake his body like this man in our days
The dancers reminded me of Will Ferrell and Cherie O'Teri from SNL and their cheerleading skit!
This may be JB’s best televised performance
too got dang fire, live performance at that
God Father of Soul...Funk ...GOAT..Greatest OF ALL TIME...Appreciate You...God Father....
Brother James, still a true original.
James just to funky stepping to the beat cant be matched
Big up the Godfather cool looking JB with the moustache always a good look.

When James Brown was at his peak, he was amazing. It's easy to see why so many revered him. And those tight bands of his!
The crowd didn’t know that Get up off that thang means get up and dance to the rhythm!
Man!!... what kind of audience was that??!!... that performance was gorgeous!!!...
All that and barely broke a sweat. 👏🏾
THE KING!
wOW, AND NO ONE'S GETTIN UP OFFA THAT THING! for shame
No lip syncing here! He never did!
A great performer had to practice to things that could not say or do things back before becoming performers to people. They know how it is. JB was a GREAT PERFORMER. He stayed in character of who he was inspite of the crowd
Mustache James is funky James
The king!
May be the best all around performer o f all time
Bravo!
Funk, soul, and blues #crazygood
James was the earliest Michael Jackson ever...
Best ever
The double edge sword of getting free tickets to a TV show . You get to see JB , but yer can't get up offa yer seat !!!
Good sound
Good Gawd!!!!!!
You Got Hat Right My Beautiful Black "Queen->WOW!
not a single pulse in that crowd. Insane
If we sent this video and this music to the space, aliens from everywhere would think "Hey, these people ...how cool they are!!!"
Good God
Amazing
Only James Brown could have tamed an entire crowd made of ZOMBIES ‼
It's not that the audience were dead.. This is back in the days where when something like that was televised, the audience was NOT supposed to be acting like fools.
simply James Brown ...
Man that dancer tho. 😂 😂 Campest Luke cage cos play I've ever seen. JB delivered as per usual.

I GUESS HE HAD THE AUDIENCE IN SOME SORT OF DON'T MOVE KIND OF OF TRANCE OR SOMETHING.
JB: GET UP OFFA DAT THANG!!!
Audience: Nah.
The way he drug that left leg @ 1:06 with that horn.
Just noticed. He was always into his music and did some cool stuff. His one footed shimmy looks impossible and his mic drop and catch are always fun to watch. There's always alot going on with JB.
Así aprendí a bailar...y lo hacía bien...

Where the fuck has gone the music. They don't respect this. Human involution
James is like, well I'm getting paid for this so I'm good lol
Does anyone remember what year this was?
Lol. The dead response from the crowd is great. Just needed the record skip sound effect.
This crowd said, back to our wine and conversations lol
❤❤❤
And that was the last time Mr Brown booked that venue with those white folk lol.
🤣😂 how can anyone sit there and their body resist the beat? Makes no sense!
So funny, no matter how much Soul Brother No.1 sang, that audience didn’t understand what he meant when he screamed, Get Up Off That Thang!
❤️ 2022 🇦🇷
That catwalk is a bit coffin shaped.and it is an arrow!🤣🤣🤣👍
Só ficou saudade do Rei do soul
Absolutely wasted on that audience.
Literally saw only two people dancing
OH YEAH!!🕶️✌️✌️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️
Genial
Wish I was that guitar player
❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Message to the audience..... The message is in the title of the song 😂
The crowd did not in fact get up offa that thing
Definition of performing for the corps
Sheesh the crowd is Fn dead! Lol
Was the audience ordered to sit still
Yeah

Don't get me wrong, I loved the Godfather; I saw the Godfather in person. But this reminds me of SNL's "What Up With That," with Kenan Thompson.
