Music: Funk Down - MK2 • Funk Down - MK2 (No Copyright Music)
James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 - December 25, 2006) was an American singer, dancer and musician. The central progenitor of funk music and a major figure of 20th-century music, he is referred to by various nicknames, among them "the Hardest-Working Man in Show Business", "Godfather of Soul", "Mr. Dynamite", and "Soul Brother No. 1". In a career that lasted more than 50 years, he influenced the development of several music genres. Brown was one of the first 10 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on January 23, 1986.
Brown began his career as a gospel singer in Toccoa, Georgia. He rose to prominence in the mid-1950s as the lead singer of the Famous Flames, a rhythm and blues vocal group founded by Bobby Byrd. With the hit ballads "Please, Please, Please" and "Try Me", Brown built a reputation as a dynamic live performer with the Famous Flames and his backing band, sometimes known as the James Brown Band or the James Brown Orchestra. His success peaked in the 1960s with the live album Live at the Apollo and hit singles such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag", "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World".
During the late 1960s, Brown moved from a continuum of blues and gospel-based forms and styles to a new approach to music-making, emphasizing stripped-down interlocking rhythms that influenced the development of funk music. By the early 1970s, Brown had fully established the funk sound after the formation of the J.B.s with records such as "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine" and "The Payback". He also became noted for songs of social commentary, including the 1968 hit "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud". Brown continued to perform and record until his death from pneumonia in 2006.
Brown recorded and released 17 singles that reached No. 1 on the Billboard R&B charts. He also holds the record for the most singles listed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart that did not reach No. 1. Brown was posthumously inducted into the first class of the Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2013 as an artist and then in 2017 as a songwriter. He received honors from several other institutions, including inductions into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In Joel Whitburn's analysis of the Billboard R&B charts from 1942 to 2010, Brown is ranked No. 1 in the Top 500 Artists. He is ranked seventh on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and at No. 44 on their list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.
On Christmas Day 2006, Brown died at approximately 1:45 a.m. EST (05:45 UTC), at age 73, from congestive heart failure, resulting from complications of pneumonia. Bobbit was at his bedside and later reported that Brown stuttered, "I'm going away tonight", then took three long, quiet breaths and fell asleep before dying.
After Brown's death, his relatives, a host of celebrities, and thousands of fans gathered, on December 28, 2006, for a public memorial service at the Apollo Theater in New York City and, on December 30, 2006, at the James Brown Arena in Augusta, Georgia. A separate, private ceremony was held in North Augusta, South Carolina, on December 29, 2006, with Brown's family in attendance. Celebrities at these various memorial events included Michael Jackson, Jimmy Cliff, Joe Frazier, Buddy Guy, Ice Cube, Ludacris, Dr. Dre, Little Richard, Dick Gregory, MC Hammer, Prince, Jesse Jackson, Ice-T, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bootsy Collins, LL Cool J, Lil Wayne, Lenny Kravitz, 50 Cent, Stevie Wonder, and Don King.
James Brown’s body was placed in a crypt at the Beech Island home of one his daughters, family and friends of the soul singer said.
White balloons were released and Brown’s adult children and other family members and friends sang and prayed over the singer’s body, said the Rev. Al Sharpton, who presided over the noon ceremony.

The Godfather Of Soul, James Brown. This man inspired Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Bobby Brown and so many people and we owe this man so much
Absolutely true story and tight 😢❤
Great man, I love JB. I understand him being buried in another place. Could be he liked privacy (I know I do). I think it could have been his favorite spot on his land. Going by all the beautiful pines in his yard, he had a nice place. Why leave it?. It would be cool when the iron gate is touched a recording yells.. "Get up off of that thang!". My favorite JB song!
All true except we don’t owe him anything. There were plenty before him….Jackie Wilson for one.
@@stoveboltlvr3798Love your comment. It’s soooooo appropriate 😎
He didn't dance on 8th Street. He used to shine shoes when his dad and my grandfather rode the horse and buggy to sell fruit. Facts
I saw James Brown when I lived in Savannah in 2005 and he was amazing. It was an outside concert at Forsyth and he pretended to pass out from the heat. His guys threw a cape over him and walked him off the stage, then DUN-DUN-DUN GET ON OUT! And he slid back onto the stage. Everybody lost it. It was amazing.
2005. Semi😅 Talk to someone who saw him in his prime in the 1960s.
Amazing doesn't even describe him. The dancing. His screams mid- song. The energy. His style. Everything was magic. So much talent. It was scary to see him live 🎉
@@yvonneplant9434 Define “prime”. I’d say that man was still in his prime.
RIP James Brown🙏 We truly love him in Augusta. He loved us as well. His foundation still gives out Turkeys for Thanksgiving & Toys at Christmas. I got in line for his funeral at 6:30am the line was wrapped around the block. It was over 8hrs long. 🙏
Wow! Incredible that you were there !
@@SCOTTONTAPE Yes it was a beautiful service! Some of it is on RUclips(different parts)
This is a man's world, this is a man's world. But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl *bows out.. 🤘💗
Love it!
"Man make the car, to takes us over the road, Man make the Train, to carry the heavy load"
When he passed it was truly an end 0f an era. He was his own man with his own style and he was the original and a true dedicated entertainer for life.
I actually cried when he passed away because I love his music so much and it was the end of an era for sure! 😢
Me too. I shed a tear.
The fact is he was born in Barnwell South Carolina 42 miles from Augusta Georgia . I met in 1970 when I was 9 years old. He was a great man in indeed..Rip James Joesph Brown. Scott you did a good job.
Wow….my paternal grandfather’s family is from Barnwell.
@@cybersecceo5403 Really I went to Barnwell in January 2022
“The Hardest Working Man
In Show Business”,
“The Godfather Of Soul”,
“Mr.Dynamite”,etc.
James Brown’s legacy will live
on forever,and may he continue
to rest peacefully.
Awesome video as always,Scott!
Mr. Please please please
I am from Augusta, Ga., but currently living on PEI, in Canada. I just wanted to say that you really told this story excellantly, and also showed the beauty of the area. Thank you. Well done!
I, too, am from Augusta, Ga., even though I was born in Atlanta. I grew up listening to James Brown, and my son used to play for his daughter, Deanna Brown Thomas in a group she founded called JAMP.
What's up Scott! Watching your video right now and I love your videos and channel. You are awesome and amazing.
My father adored James Brown. While taking a family member to the airport they met and got to have a conversation. I am thankful to have gone to his wake and met his daughter. I can see why they interred him for so long she absolutely adores him ❤❤❤
I love James Brown every time I hear a song I get down and boogie!!!!
Hence the saying, "Can James Brown Get Down" , " Is Your Head Dead" lol
@@superbee-di5tpI remember that from Good Times 😂
RIP MR JAMES BROWN. WHAT A LEGACY YOU LEFT BEHIND. ❤❤❤
SCOTT TY SO MUCH FOR ALWAYS GIVING THE UP MOST RESPECT TO THE DEAD. MUCH LOVE SCOTT FROM MISSOURI ❤❤❤
Remember his casket being solid 24k solid gold. His funeral was known as going out in style & or his last spectacle…
I flew a Drone to his mansion and the 2 tour busses are still in the field one says THE FLAMES 🔥 ON IT. Cars still there also.. SIDE NOTE the Reason why his old radio station is a SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION IS BECAUSE HE DONATED IT TO A SCHOOL SO THE KIDS WOULD HAVE A NICER SCHOOL. You shoulda went in big plaque inside that explains it. GOOD JOB SCOTT
The Godfather of Soul. Such an iconic man that so many looked up to. Prince and Michael Jackson looked up to him. They became who they were because of James Brown. A definite legend. Thank you Scott. This was awesome. I appreciate all your hard work.
🕊️🙏❤️
Hi Scott other brilliant video just love watching your video. Much love ❤
James Brown the greatest legend of soul music of all time. Even Michael Jackson said that he learn the moves from JB and that's how Michael was such a great dancer and performer. RIP Mr James Brown. Thanks for this Scott...
Mr. Brown definitely deserves his own Graceland
grew up with james brown music......had his 8-tracks........🎼🎶🎵🎶
When I worked for UPS in Augusta I met him on Broad St. Truly was the nicest man and his store had all the fly clothes. RIP Mr. Brown.
Rest in Eternal peace too James Brown,his body was over here in Harlem in a horse and carriage, and we all walked from 145 street to 125 street, where they had his body at the Apollo theatre, Harlem was completely packed, I will never forget it..
The God Father of Soul. One of the absolute greatest entertainers ever who influenced so many! Powerful performer! That mural is gorgeous! RIP Mr. James Brown🕊️
Thanks for this video Scott
Scott! I have been waiting very patiently for this one. Thank you!!!
The statue looks exactly like him. That mural is awesome! It's sad how some families fight when someone dies. And being a celebrity who has fans who'd want to visit his final resting place, it's also sad that it's closed to the public.
Another great job, Scott. Thank you for being my feet and taking me everywhere I will not be able to go. You are the best! Go Leafs!!
You just never know what someone's going through so i try to show love and kindness.💞💞Vickie
James Brown one of my all-time favorites, Thank you very much.
Very well done Scott. You gave him as far as I can see his flowers. Thanks you're a true trooper.
I was thinking of my past memories ever since my mom passed. and i remember a guy i did'nt know put a stuffed animal in my arms.. I was in a wheelchair as you know im disabled i have spina bifida. i was at geauga lake amusement park in my hometown of ohio. im still in my wheelcahir but i remember i was with my mom and she was happy he did that. and i got to thinking scott is just as loving to all people like that. just when you think no cares for disabled people you find it right in front of you and i also found when i found you scott on youtube. Vickie🥰🥰💕
Thank you Vicki ❤️😊
I also have spina bifida.
That’s an amazing story.
@@jaylene.turner6524 thank you wishing you the best🥰
😘😘wishing you guys the best my cousin has the same disease spina Bifida
Omg the fact that I stay in Augusta for school and go past
All of this every week and never knew Is crazy thank you for sharing this with us I’m going to visit now
You’re welcome ! You’re staying in a great city!
You need to do some research
@@SCOTTONTAPEhis father’s house is included In the tour. I took it two years ago.
Even though he moved from South Carolina at 5 years old, his impact was still felt in SC. He moved from South Carolina but he took a piece of South Carolina with him. RIP to a legend.
My dad knew him. He did work for him at his house.
I loved his voice inspired so many much love from Cleveland Ohio
We are fortunate here in Georgia to have had so many great performers
Thanks for showing, I knew a youngman that played in his band , Sweet Charles, as a matter of fact we lived on the same street, his mother and my mother were friends.
I always think of him in that Rocky movie with Apollo Creed singing "Uh, Ah, Livin in America!!! Uh, ah, This, is, understood!!!" Thanks Scott, this was AWESOME ❤
Always Loved Mr. James Brown R.I. P. Godfather of Soul You deserve it and I thank You for your Gift to all of Us!!! ❤️🙏👏😢🦀🐒🇺🇸♋
James Brown was an undeniable, irrefutable icon! His musical arrangements and style of dance have influenced generations, and will continue to do so throughout the ages.
Body Heat and The Payback are funk masterpieces. I will never forget stomping and sliding to those jams during the House Music craze in the 80s and early 90s.
He came. He conquered. RIP to the Godfather of Soul!
Afternoon scott great to see you pop up love when my phone blips cause i know its you and i am going to enjoy it 🛎🛎 ❤ beautiful statue great video again thanks for sharing scott hugs from dublin ❣❣
Sunday Surprise with The Godfather of Soul and Mr. Scott on tape.. the laundry has to wait! Watching now😊🥳

That's funny cause my laundry is on pause lmao!!!
Pretty cool I never knew James lived there I was out in South Carolina and if I knew that I would of love to visit theses places so if I’m ever out in South Carolina I will visit I still have the news papers of his funeral along with Elvis and Frank Sinatra being a Dj back in the day I use to play a lot of James brown music it was great stuff
Be an honor to gig at The James Brown Arena.
Thank you Scott James Brown King Of Soul 😊😊
Your videos keep getting better and better, this is one of the better ones!
Scott next time You are in Augusta. Augusta was Where Ty Cobb has his home here and it still stands as well as The Cobb House Apartments that he had built back in the twenties. Also Augusta was The Original Spring training Area before it was relocated to Florida. It would make a great Vlog. Plus Hulk Hogan was born here and Lawrence Fishbourn. Brenda Lee lived here and met Elvis here at the Bell Auditorium backstage and the theater is still used for concerts today.
Wow thanks for these facts I love my city!!! #706
RIP MR Brown 🙏❤
Thank you so much for another amazing video, always giving up the most respect, you are awesome ❤
Believe me or not but James Brown is my distant relative, his Family is from Barnwell, Sc and also Martin South Carolina which is outside of Allendale, Sc. Where he also grew up at, anyone that’s from down here can tell you that he grew up in Martin as well other than just Augusta, ga, he was a country boy. He came to my great grandmother house back in the 1970s when my great grandfather passed away and he brought her some flowers and a sympathy card. She told me this a few years ago before she passed away. His Brown family is right here in Barnwell and Martin, SC. Continue to rest on Fam🎼🎹🤞🏾. You made a huge impact on the entire world 🌎. My mother had his picture on a tv stand when he passed away. I was only 6 years old when he died. My mom had gotten his autograph when he came down to Barnwell, to perform in the projects, and he also bought the Barnwell High School uniforms and performed many times there. He never forgot where he came from
I bet you can dance
James Brown was an icon! Truly lived on his own terms! His legacy will last to infinity! RIP The GodFather of Soul. Great video Scott!! 👏👏👏
I'm from and live in Augusta. Thanks for this. I'm going to share this with my family and friends. My uncle went to high school with him. I hope you had a good time here😊
I did indeed thank you so much !
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos visiting burial sites. You are always so respectful and thoughtful. I appreciate the time you take to include information about the person and pictures of various aspects of their lives. Thank you for taking me along on your journeys.
My greatest musical inspiration and the reason why I became a drummer 🥁!!!! Rest In Peace Godfather!❤
It's cool that when you were looking at the mural, Freeway of Love by Aretha Franklin started playing 🎶. May they both continue to rest in Our Father's Kingdom 🕊🙏🏾.
James Brown like Little Richard was the Godfather of all music not just soul he influenced soul rock music and pop all rock artist were influenced by his music Rolling Stones Queen Led Zeppelin etc Nice tribute Scott
James brown was certainly a legend. Great video scott. Sad story too.😢xx
Just loved James Brown, what an icon. Can’t help but always dance to his music too. The movie “Get On Up” is one of my faves. My fave line in it is “Everybody gonna know your name” His Aunt believed in him reminds me of my own mom❤️ Thank you awesome Scott for this amazing tribute to Mr Brown. May he rest in peace.
Very cool! I am sure James is up in heaven singing! Good job Scott! ❤❤. Thanks.
Yes there was a lot of drama when James Brown passed.💔💔 Thank you for sharing this💕💕
In the late 80s, I owned a 1972 Plymouth Scamp, and it was an absolute joy to drive! I remember spotting a car just like mine in a James Brown video at 421 seconds, and it was a moment of pride for me to see my car make an appearance in such a popular music video. It's always exciting to look back on those days with confidence and appreciation for the experiences that have shaped us.
Didn’t know most of this. Awesome Scott. Nice!
You did another, Great job for a man with an extreme amount of talent whom inspired many. 🙌👍🙌
Get on up-uh! Feel like a sex machine-uh! The Funky Godfather of Soul. True music royalty. As always, a well-researched and entertaining video, Scott. Thank you! And that mural, holy sh*t! Awesome!
RIP James Brown 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

Lots I didn’t know…but admired his genius👌🙏
I was born and raised in Augusta, GA. I remember my dad telling me that he got into a fight with James Brown bc he was trying to steal his girlfriend at that time LOL! ❤
I remember seeing and reading all the news after he passed and all the stuff everyone went threw but it is great to finally see him at rest in a mausoleum. He was the true meaning of Godfather of soul. Thank you for explaining what he went threw after he passed, no one can do it better. Thanks again.
My nephew in law was James Brown’s bodyguard before he passed away. James Brown had handed my nephew Keith who they called “Snowman” a watch a Rolex watch James Brown asked if Keith could get it fixed for him, two months before he passed away the day that my nephew got it fixed and sent it back to James Brown the next day, James Brown died.
Lucky enough to have seen James Brown sing in the late 90s at Lulus in Kitchener, Ontario. Excellent show!
Thank you Scott very good video.
James Brown, Godfather of Soul, what a legend! Fantastic job Scott taking us to these important locations. He inspired so many talented performers and I'm so glad you did this tribute ❤❤
James Brown, I got his autograph in the 1970's in west palm Beach, Florida, nice very friendly man.RIP
Such an interesting life James Brown led . The mold was broken when he was born . A true original ! Thanks Scott for another great vlog .
May his Soul R I P James Brown
Are you in Augusta, let me know ill come down and meet you.
Sorry man I was there yesterday! Next time
@@SCOTTONTAPE OK Scott No Problem
I was born in Brooklyn N.Y. In 1958 and I recall dancing 🕺 to the Father or soul when I was about 3? Years old. Now I’m 65 and still listen to his music. Sad his children are still fighting for his money’s. Rip greatness Amen 🙏. Thank you friend for this educational video. Blessings Amen 🙏. Ps. Your videos are awesome 👏. Amen 🙏. 🇵🇷🇺🇸🇵🇷🇺🇸🙏🙏💃🕺💃🕺
I love your energy. I really enjoy your videos allot. Great job. Ty. Love and blessings❤🎉
Thank you Scott for all you do and for this video. You are so respectful when it comes to honoring the deceased and the loved ones 💙🙏 R.I.P Mr.Brown
Very cool. 😎 My best memory of James Brown music is chilling with my mom, dad, and brother on a hot summer day during the 7th inning stretch at Candlestick Park, 3-COM, and AT&T, dancing to “I feel good,” and cheering for the best team in the MLB! 🌁 The mood of the crowd, whether we were winning or losing, became pure during that soulful anthem. Like being in church. In a way, that song break made everything ok because when James Brown projects, “I feel good,” no matter what’s going on around you or in you, you also feel good!
The rest of the song goes, “I knew that I would! So good! So good! Cause I’ve got YOU!”
Hell yeah James, RIP you funky SOB!! 🎶❤
CONTINUE 2 REST N PEACE "GODFATHER OF SOUL"....MR JAMES BROWN...EAS"T"EXAS RESPECT 🙏.

@@JohnnyKennedy-sf4sf What did you say?
I remember my mom and dad taking me to see James Brown when i was real little. JB was so amazingly. He had so much energy and he played the organ so beautifully. I remember thinking to myself, wow he has more energy than me. Im so blessed to have seen him perform. Thanks Scott, you always do beautiful docs.
James Brown had a radio station in Baltimore- WEBB in Walbrook Junction. We used to watch him dj through the picture window! 😊
Thank you for doing this 🎉❤
Very good video. You're the hardest working man on RUclips among others I have watched. I wish that I can show you some places you might be interested in.
Hi Scott, I hope your well, James Brown was a music legend, great voice and awesome songs, very well missed. That’s a really cool statue of him. Sad the way he died, died quite young. Thank you Scott for taking us with you. RIP James Brown 💐💐💐
One thing I love about your channel is you try not to bash or give tough love to people who have passed and are known for doing bad before they passed. We know James wasn't perfect. Multiple crimes committed, domestic violence relationships and many stories either true or alleged...... but he still deserve to be respected.
Definitely the “Godfather of Soul”. No denying that, EVER!
Love this upload Scott, hello from Australia 🇭🇲 fabulous Spring day there.
Much appreciated James Brown as a kid , I admired J.B. And, I loved his dance moves so much that, I started doing them! And when we except the Most High Lord God Almighty! We can achieve our goals and blessings! He leaves us with many memories! R. I.P. Mr. James Brown! ❤️💐💐💐💐💐🙏🏽
The Godfather OF SOUL REST IN PEACE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow😮That's absolutely fantastic, the mural that must of took months to draw and 🎨 paint , the statue was spot on and looked so beautiful and stunning, I really appreciate your visit here Scott , he's one of my fav soul singers of all time The godfather 👑 of soul Many Thanks Scott ya English Yorkshire UK friend Rodders 🤘🎸🎤🥁👑🎹🇬🇧🇬🇧
Dude, dude, I wanted to get a better look at that bike, and just as I was about to be able to see it, YOU CUT IT OFF! lol
Also i just heard my neighbor's wife passed away. I knew this guy my whole childhood but this is his second wife who i've known a short while. but she was always kind to me too. just sad. i wish him and his family better days.💗
As a white guy i enjoyed his electrifying music, he was one of a kind The Godfather of Soul..
