James Brown on Working Clean!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- One of a kind...often imitated..inspired several generations of musicians. A tough boss who would only settle for perfection on stage. The hardest working man in Show business....misunderstood in his final years...He was a black Republican. Anti Drug and G rated on stage.....Interviewed by me in Nashville before a charity concert.
I am so grateful to have grown up, learning, and being molded by the soul, heart and works of this great expression of 🙌🏿The Most High God🙌🏿, “🪶Dr. James Brown, The Godfather of Soul🪶”. Everyone who was there during his run for however long…….knows, “The JB Experience”, was a Helluva ride! Wow, it’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday 😢 😊 thank you All 🙏🏾
This legend is so true in his word. about performing a clean show! you never see or have seen the greats do a dirty show.
True.
James Brown had his flaws, but I think deep down he really was a genuinely good guy and had God in him.
Everybody has or had flaws in them either one way or the other
What's good about punching your wife's face in front of your kids?
But his were perhaps above average
The One and Only James Brown. 🕺🏽🎶 ..Great video. 💕
4:39 Cracking me up! "I'm proud he had the guts!"

Wow ! What can anybody say ?! Not only a great performer -- but a truly decent human being.
What's decent about punching your wife's face in front of your kids??
Mr. Brown you never left..
This is the forefather...he knew exactly what he was talking about and if it wasn’t for Mr.Brown there’d be no Michael Or Prince. Show him the respect he deserves because he busted down doors so we could have a Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' or a Housequake or a Uptown Funk..It all goes back to him
Without James Brown there'd be nothing.
This guy really influenced MJ and Prince, he's the GOAT. The Godfather !
James Brown believed in Michael Jackson
good interview
JB invented disco, the real biz but he hated playing that overhyped cocaine disco in the mid/late 70’s. That shit was a real drag, ya know? Totally demeaning. That’s why punk rock had to happen and soul brother #1! backed it up all the way. Elvis, Prince, Zapp & Roger, the Ramones, all youthful musical movement... he supported it all. He did tire back in the early days of hip-hop all those uncredited samples with no “big payback” but you’d probably feel the same way if you were in one of his 2000 pairs of boss shoes. Pay the cost or get lost ❤️⚡️
WOW! just read up on James Brown's personal life and man was he anything but clean he was convicted of domestic abuse, theft, assaulting an officer, carrying and abusing drugs, and being armed with an unlawful weapon. He still iconic and the Godfather of Soul but kinda hypocritical to call others not clean with his record
What have you've been smoking my friend? Michael is a musician and is considerable one of the greatest innovators of music the last 30 years. He was a respected artist when he was 8, touring with Etta James, and performing before Gladys Knight&the pips, James Brown, Sam&Dave and so on. Even Prince & James admired him, that's why Prince plays his songs on his set list.
Thank you for posting this video.
interviewing the real james brown
"Dirt sinks"...... wow. This dude is a hero.
i am named after this bad mother!
What live show is this from where James is wearing the red outfit
+1 Yeah i would like to know too.
Looks like the Grand Ole Opry. That show would've been March 10, 1979
What year was this?
THIS IS MY DADDY
@MAURICE MCNEILL ikr
Ayo pause
you know they should make a movie with jamie foxx playing james brown..he kind looks like him in this interview. sound alittle like him..he should play his life like movie ray...he kinda sounds like boudinni from the movie ali when he played in the that
my bad, did the math wrong. Prince has 34 years in the business being that it's 2010. So recalculating, Michael's got 8 years on Prince and JB's got 16 years on Prince.
I'm not sure he was Republican - at least not modern day Republican. He probably would have disagreed with most of Bush's policies. When he's saying these other artists should clean up their acts, that's mostly his religion talking. And like most Christians, it's like: Do as I say, not as I do. This guy beat women like it was his hobby. and he spent several years in jail, when he was a teenager, and again in the late 80's. He led cops on a high speed chase, and had like 23 shots fired at him!
Lol he was throwing shots at prince
When does he talk about working clean?
With ALL due respect to James Brown, The GODFATHER of soul BOTH Michael Jackson and Prince are EQUALLY iconic and legends in THEIR OWN RIGHT STILL to THIS VERY DAY BOTH MICHAEL AND PRINCE are HIGHLY considered and IS TWO of the greatest to EVER touch a stage and ALSO with ALL DUE RESPECT artists don't even mention james brown as their influences like artists will Michael and or Prince!!
A lot of people were influenced by jb. He’s just from an older generation
But Micheal and prince would have both told you that James brown was their inspiration so when it all boils down he’s the teacher and they were his students

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 : I didn't say Prince started 30 years after Michael. I was combining MJ and JB's carreers together since u said he lasted longer than both of them. JB alone has been performing for 50 years and since Prince has been in the game for 34, he has atleast 16 more years to perform in order to last longer than JB and atleast 8 to last longer than MJ. 30 was a number I kinda just threw out there, noticed I said 20/30, it was a guestimate before doing the actual math
what year is that?
Yeah I didn't get that either, he was talking about positive things well so many, but doing so many negative things?
That’s how a lot of “strong” black men were back in the days.
@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 Sorry, but Prince plays pop music as it is defined by everyone. It may have a combination of rock, blues, and etc, but so does MJ's. Also, Prince has demonstrated selling out on more than one occasion don't act as if he hasn't. MJ's music, though, expanded on the Motown ideology of having an accessible sound for everyone. Additionally, no you do NOT know what kind of music Mozart would be creating today. He was considered to be a pop star in his day and age as well.
I get what JB saying, however, I rather be dirty and outrageous onstage and be a gentleman and live a clean life offstage than vice versa. Onstage isnt real. It's an illusion. After the lights go up, audience leaves the arena, u left with yourself. Offstage is the real you.
You have a point, but I think JB is more talking about respect. Notice he mentioned his mother and children. What you say is true. "Conservatives" are always getting caught with their pants down. If you're really clean behind closed doors, though, some things you wouldn't even feel comfortable doing on stage.
D Rock you’re right. JB strictly meant how u do your stage show.
@phunkidruma hey one thing you forgot, MICHAEL HELPED CHANGE THE WORLD....what hell did prince do but make some number one hits -____-
Michael is clean clean clean? Hahaha ...
mid 80ies he still was lol
@Jspades25 pleaseee stop the madness ...yeh he changed the world ,....now we know what propoloff is, drug addicts get no play in my book but yeh he changed the world 2 an extent...a very short one...PRINCE LIVES DUDE!!!!
... Well this is awkward
Yeah this ain't it chef 😰
Is this THE Jimmy Carter?
I guess James didn’t consider news interviews working
@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 I'm not saying that Prince didn't make more albums or went on more tours than MJ...It's just that you said Prince's carreer lasted longer. The amount of work you do versus how long you've been doing it is two different things and with that, MJ has been doing it longer therefore, MJ's carreer has a longer span than Prince's....thas all I'm saying.
@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 : Ummmmm, Prince's carreer can not last longer than Jame's or Michael's until atleast 20/30 more years. James was out in the 50s and Michael Jackson broke onto the scene in the late 60s w/ the Jackson 5 both of which have been performing about 20+ years longer than Prince.
I hate to have to criticize The Godfather, but that's for on the floor shit he's doing don't cut the mustard for me..... that don't sound like the James Brown funk.... don't get me wrong I am one of the biggest James Brown fans. I own over 55 James Brown albums. From 1956 to 1990 James Brown is truly the godfather of soul I saw him in concert back in the early 70s and the mid-70s what a showman. 💜❤️💜❤️💜🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵😎🤜🏾🤛🏻❤️💜💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Lord Nasty I still stand by my statement. I am not impressed with the four on the floor James Brown style because this is not his style what the fuck was the godfather thanking? That’s all I’ve got to say. JAMES LORD NASTY LEMMONS.
He wasn't even clean then.
@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 You don't have to write music nor play an instrument to compose music. If you try and say that you have to, then you are WRONG no matter how much you try to argue against it. There are too many musicians, many who have been considered to be significant, who have proved you wrong. Even Prince is aware of this, why can't you be?
@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 AGAIN, you do not know what these people were doing in their spare time or how they are spending their time during the day. You are only assuming. Please get that through your head.
@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 It's about quality, not quantity.
Leave it up to deluded Prince fans to argue blatant lies and totally subjective opinions as if they are facts. Michael Jackson did compose his own music and James Brown may not have played as many instruments as Prince, but he was way more influential to music than Prince could ever dream of being. Prince knows this is truth. Just wish some of his idiotic fans would realize it too.
@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 Because it's a bad comment, that's why.
HAHAH he has one teeth out his mouth hahahahahaaaaaaa
@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 You do not know what Prince or MJ were up to in their spare time so don't act like you do, thanks.
@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 This comment is bad and you should feel bad.
@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 Yes you just did. You put Prince in the same sentence with Mozart and Miles Davis. NO. Try again. Prince is the same as Michael Jackson and Madonna. He writes and composes POP MUSIC. His lyrics can get just as stupid as anyone else's. Now when you take away all the sex from his work there is nothing good left in it.
james this is the one time i disagree with u bro, and i bet u can't even spell what i just did, but dude rip!...u endorse michael???? shame bro:(Prince will and does dust both yall off...he still alive my country bro get the marbles out yo mouth hater!!
What year was this?
84ish
What year is this from?
