Perhaps the greatest live concert experience was James Brown in his prime between the late 50s and 70s. It was his prowess as a showman that set the stage for Michael Jackson to take it to the next level in his day. His place in history as a showman AND a musician is just about unparalleled. As a bandleader, he influenced the likes of Prince, and as a beat maker, countless hip-hop groups like Public Enemy and Heavy D and the Boyz and so on and so forth. When it comes to the hip-hop sampling of his music, the list is ENDLESS. He also used his platform as an instrument of political liberation during the days of the Black Power Revolution. To put it mildly, he was simply a BAD MOTHA...shut yo mouth!!! I'm just talkin' bout the Godfather!
He is the only singer i was cryed when I was here hes past away. I like his song gravaty most.. He in the 80, 90 thes. R. I. P Godfather of soul 💕❤️💕❤️💐😁
There is Never enough acknowledgment for James Brown accomplishments. He was Far more than a singer/ artist/producer/ activist He was a Legendary figure. for both Blacks/whites. his generosity to charities was underrepresented. He loved People. He was Against Racialism. He had a Heart of GOLD. PURE GOLD. his contribution to the American culture was Outstanding. people need to do a some research about this ICON. a LEGENDARY figure. who had impacted Millions of Homes in the US. many don't even know that James Brown was a Republican. who met with Richard Nixon and George Bush. don't think for a sec that James brown would have liked Obama. NO NO NO. James Brown Knew right from wrong. (although No one is Perfect) but James Brown was as Close to perfect as you can get. . Honor. and Remember this Great man for what he stood for.He needs to be remembered for generations. May he Rest in peace under God's wings.
Please...The "Godfather if Soul"...Don't put any political labels on James Brown, don't get it twisted, he was bigger than that, too big to be put in a box....
@@ilae.williams7675 Damn right. Somehow this person thinks being a republican is better than everything else, and made politics more important. This person thinks because James Brown endorsed Nixon, this means he'll dislike Democrats like Obama for no reason other than stupid politics. They don't know that James Brown was like a father figure and mentor to Al Sharpton since he was a teenager, yet Al is a Democrat. James was more complex than that, and shouldn't be put in a box unless he said it out loud in public.
JAMES BROWN, as you can see here, actually BEGAN his career as a member of the singing group THE FAMOUS FLAMES. The OTHER Famous Flames were: BOBBY BYRD, who was the group's founder, and the man who discovered James Brown, BOBBY BENNETT, and LLOYD STALLWORTH. JOHNNY TERRY was another member (not shown) . JAMES BROWN was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 THE FAMOUS FLAMES were inducted in 2017 . The James Brown Band AKA The JB's were nominated , but not inducted, in 2015

Thankful for Little Richard supported him by giving him his start and supporting him through the years he struggled by visiting and praying with James in jail. RIP to James and Richard.
As great as this was, where was Michael durin all of this?? The awards were a joke. They gave they award of merit to artists that came after JB! That in itself is criminal, but hey better late than never right?
The songs that James performed in that 1964 performance (when he was still a member of The Famous Flames) were: OUT OF SIGHT, PRISONER OF LOVE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, and NIGHT TRAIN.

Either 1991 or 1992. Person said 1964 must be joking cause MC Hammer was bout age 2, Whitney was a year old, Mariah, BellBivDevoe, and Boys II Men wasn't even born and they all are shown in audience during this James Brown performance
This was in January 27, 1992. it was Long Overdue. James Brown was Once in a Lifetime LEGEND.. that can NEVER be forgotten. may He Rest in Peace under God's wings.
Yes ..he was a Republican..but he would have NEVER aligned himself with whats going on today..lm mentioning this because someone else decided to get to go there.
@@playthelist1678 If James were here and have known what kind of President Trump was, there's absolutely NO WAY James Brown would've supported him, especially the way Trump disrespected Black people.
@@ronniemoon57 Exactly, they seem to not realize that James Brown's closest friends were also Democrats, heck, he was even a father figure to Al Sharpton who is a lifelong Democrat.
