James Brown - It's Too Funky In Here - 11 July 1981 • World of Jazz

'Too Funky In Here' performed by James Brown at the first concert at the North Sea Jazz Festival 1981.
James Brown was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and bandleader. He was the creator of funk music and a major figure of 20th century popular music and dance. He is known as the ""Godfather of Soul”.
In a career that spanned six decades, he influenced the development of several music genres.
In 1981 he performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival with his band.
Tracklisting of the first concert, a.o.:
- We Are The Funky Men
- It’s Too Funky In Here
- Gonna Have A Funky Good Time
- Try Me
- Get On The Good Foot
- Georgia On My Mind
- I Got The Feeling
- Please Please Please
- Jam
- Sex Machine
Also watch the 2nd concert James Brown did that same day, 11 July 1981during the North Sea Jazz Festival on 11 July 1981, held in the Congress center in The Hague.
This second concert is extraordinary and sees a James Brown that really gives everything to get the audience to their feet. The first concert that we published on 5 October 2017 which was recorded by AVRO Television earlier that 11th July 1981 saw a lame audience that did not know how to react. In this fantastic video we see what James Brown could do with any audience. Also this concert has a different tracklisting including a sensational 'It's A Man's World' in which he pays tribute to great artists who died such as Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and especially to John Lennon, who died some 6 months earlier.
The concert's encore is a raving rendition of 'Sex Machine'.
Enjoy!
