Have u ever seen Prince crawl across the stage on his stomach! Like super fast! He was was amazing to watch too! Seen him in 1995 at the Pantages in Hollywood 🥰🥰🥰
And James got most of his dance moves from JACKIE WILLSON ! Look it up on RUclips of some old footages of jackie wilson dancing before james brown came out. JB car jacked most of all of Jackie's moves. All of those dancing brothers did a little of everybody's stuff. Where Jackie got his moves from I not sure. But those last 3 James, Michael & Prince they were the dancing children of Jackie Wilson.
@@williewilliams5067whaaaat? JACKIE WILSON 🤣 You gotta be kidding. I have not seen Jackie doing drops, full splits, sliding on one leg, or even shuffling his feet fast 🤔
Well, yeah he did, that was Prince decision as a showman but the splits had very little to do with the shoes, the splits has everything to do with the crouch of one's flexibility of the body.
You completely forgot that Prince did 14 SPLITS in perfect coordination in 6 seconds on the Rave unto the Year 2000 live in concert DVD. He made it look absolutely LETHAL especially in heels and it should go down in the Guinness World book of records.
I know exactly what you mean and agree. Sadly, as much as I liked Prince doing the splits and wearing heels, I would much rather he was still here with us.
@@musiciansreveal I can see that. To me, PRINCE was an ATHLETE the way he choreographed some of those moves/splits, it may have taken a TOLL on his body.🤔
But JB was the Originator !!!! PERIOD !!!! Prince & MJ idolized JB & they took it to a whole new level !!!!! JB was my 1st ever concert back in 1967 n Lake Charles La. TOTALLY blew me away. I’m 66 & still remember that.
Wow. That is a great first concert. Cherish that. My first was Stevie Wonder and Gil Scott-Heron. Met James Brown and Wilson Pickett at their concert in 1983.
I hear ya, Bruh! I'm 65. I saw him in Little Rock, AR., 1969. The kicks, spins, splits, spin walking the mike stand....all under STROBE LIGHTS !!! The whole SHOW was like being on ANOTHER PLANET !!! LOLOL
Fred, that was a great sequence. I also love the splits and mic slide in several directions during Housequake at the New Years Eve show 1987 at Paisley Park.
It's been said that Prince (As a small child) was briefly tossed up on stage with JB while he was per4ming in Minneapolis, and that was IT; the rest was history.
@@musiciansreveal the only cats who could give him a run a little bit were Jackie Wilson, and a very young Michael Jackson and James brown was still moving scary
Perfect summation. If Prince didn't have to focus on writing, producing, singing, playing guitar, bass, drums and keys, he might have topped all these dancers. But I prefer the way Prince did it.
Other than the fact James Brown was a prolific and important songwriter, he completely revolutionized the way music is written to this day with essentially inventing "on the one". As much respect as I have for Prince he never wrote anything as revolutionary and influential as Papa's Got A Brand New Bag. Where music would be today without that one track is unthinkable. Now you could still argue Prince is more talented but to void James of his most important talent is not wise. I know Prince would be offended on your behalf.
Mr. Brown does not lose. Let’s see. JB is a dancer, singer, producer, arranger, bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, writer, and social activist. JB had 59 albums meanwhile prince has less than 40. JB danced at older age and when he was famous in the mid 60s he was in his 30s. Older than Prince with 25 years old, but danced a lot better. When Prince came to music scene he was only 20.
Prince wrote played sang and produced his songs. Then performed them live with all the dance moves and talent as Mr. Brown. Not very close. PrinceRIP 🤘
This comment section has singlehandedly put me off Prince's fanbase in a way I don't think I'll ever recover from. How does one be so confidently incorrect and myopic about your idol when comparing him to his idol? Even Michael Jackson's fanbase gives his influences respect and he's much more of his own performer than Prince is (no disrespect to Prince), what is this insecurity?
Prince was amazing. I never saw him miss on the splits. I did see him slip at Radio City Music Hall during a ballad set. But I think the stage was wet. As always, he played it off and probably most of audience never knew.
@@musiciansrevealHaving watched countless James Brown concerts I've literally never seen him slip during a split either. The only time he ever slipped (wasn't during a split) was on the Flip Wilson Show in 1970 where he fell back and turned it into a spinny break dance move that was wicked and entirely improvised.
One word DO U THINK IF LEGEND JAMES BROWN COULD DO SLITS N HIGH HEEL BOOTS ...I GIVE JAMES BROWN HIS SALUTE .. BUT PRINCE WAS THE FIRST 2 DO SLITS N HIGH HEEL BOOTS
No Prince was a little better than JB in dancing, when Michael Jackson was much younger, Mich could do the James Brown better than James Brown. But every body moved or stole moves from someone or from a mixture of other entertainers. Now who was better than them all was a man you wouldn't believe could dance & where James Brown stole a lot of his moves from. And that was JACKIE WILSON !!!! Go to RUclips, look at some old footages of Jackie Wilson dancing had more moves& could split better than most With the exception of Prince who could split better than most classical men ballet dancers. Go watch Jackie Wilson's old dance footage & see what you think.
I'm a huge fan of Jackie Wilson and James Brown, have watched their concerts endlessly. If you think James Brown was influenced by Jackie Wilson when it comes to his move set you are plainly mistaken, not only are they entirely different but James Brown started before Jackie did.
Couldn't disagree more. I have very rarely seen James Brown do the full splits seamlessly. That's why Prince's splits are so great, because he glides up after he goes down. JB had moves, but he was a lot more ants in the pants about it, and that was a turnoff. And yeah, the part in heels, and his were twice as high as JB.
All due respect I think u need to lookup more footage of James Brown before u say that . James Brown did it in heels too and platform shoes . along with mic drops and double splits u know what a double split is ?
The person you're listening to was James Brown's tour manager from 1961 to 1970 and Prince's tour manager from 1984 onwards, he had to be at every show for contractual reasons. I think he has an educated opinion on the matter. If you think that's silly keep in mind there's no footage of James Brown in the early 60s, there's plenty of Prince throughout his whole life but James Brown's prime as a performer was never captured on video.
PRINCE 4 SURE!!! Did James Brown jump off 6 ft risers do the splits all the while strapped with a GUITAR, then rise up grab the microphone and play the guitar while in heels ... NO!! Plus James Brown was a woman beater...jus vile!
One of my favorite moves was Prince running and sliding across stage up to the mic to sing on cue. Saw a great move like that from him at Radio City Music Hall.

Hell, I think Prince would pick James Brown. 😂
Yess
Prince was and is the goat
I agree.
I think Prince probably would pick JB.
Have u ever seen Prince crawl across the stage on his stomach! Like super fast! He was was amazing to watch too! Seen him in 1995 at the Pantages in Hollywood 🥰🥰🥰
Rhonda. So true. Sign of The Times during Housequake those moves are incredible. And he did them at his New Years Eve show when Miles Davis played.
Keep in mind the guy you're listening to was Prince's tour manager for many many years, he knows.
I saw James Brown in 1969 in his prime... Splits, kicks, spinning & tipping the mike stand. PRINCE OBSERVED... Admired and expounded this CRAFT !!! 😂😎
Lucky you. Must have been amazing. I met him in 1983. Show was great but you saw the real deal.
James Brown the Teacher, Prince and MJ and Bobby Brown are the Students!
Hey! Don't forget about that USHER Kid...He's learning, trying to get there...😆
FACTS LOL❤❤
Prince MJ Bobby & Hammer are all students and that’s why they are all the best
James Brown. Prince and Michael got their moves from James Brown!
And Jackie Wilson
He was supersmooth.@@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs

@@williewilliams5067stop lying Williams. Wake up
Prince did them in HEELS! ❤💜💜💜
So did James Brown also in platform shoes
Well, yeah he did, that was Prince decision as a showman but the splits had very little to do with the shoes, the splits has everything to do with the crouch of one's flexibility of the body.
James brown was only 5-6. He split wearing platform shoes. 👺🔥
You completely forgot that Prince did 14 SPLITS in perfect coordination in 6 seconds on the Rave unto the Year 2000 live in concert DVD. He made it look absolutely LETHAL especially in heels and it should go down in the Guinness World book of records.
One my all-time favorite Prince split routine. Didn't he say something like he wanted to just see how the carpet worked?
14 splits in 6 seconds??? Um...ok....🎉
The guy you were listening to was at that concert, he was Prince and James Brown's tour manager and had to be at every single show.
Prince did it while doing a guitar solo..
No he didn't
@@anthonytaylor7928 Yes he did
Thats true. Gett Off was an example.
YES 🎯 👍🏾
@@anthonytaylor7928I'm an 👁 witness
James brown is the motivation behind the greats after him 💯
So influential you are right Rich. Appreciate the comment.
James Brown 😊
james brown is thee greatest performer that ever lived
With those legs of mr. Brown it’s athletic. The man become a Thai-fighter with ease !
James Brown hands down.
Vs everybody.
Dancing was the cause of Princes death in a convaluted kinda way😳
I know exactly what you mean and agree. Sadly, as much as I liked Prince doing the splits and wearing heels, I would much rather he was still here with us.
@@musiciansreveal I can see that. To me, PRINCE was an ATHLETE the way he choreographed some of those moves/splits, it may have taken a TOLL on his body.🤔
What did it was him jumping off speakers and high levels that took a toll on his hips. That is why he had hip replacement, what was painful.
That's a hard one jb was the master that ppl looked up to r.i.p both of em💜
PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE
Prince did them things in heels
Prince
Prince. The heels and the breakdance
James had heels too you know.
James Brown is the blue print
James Brown 💯
Prince 👑 genius one💜💜💜☝🏼

James Brown
Look at the split prince did with the mic at the end of Sheila E concert. It's on YT. The very last clip, doing love bizarre
Fred, that was a great sequence. I also love the splits and mic slide in several directions during Housequake at the New Years Eve show 1987 at Paisley Park.
James Brown.
I love both of them can't say !
Tough to separate their great talents.
Prince took James whole act..
If u never seen the james brown movie i recommend watching it ... Great movie
Outstanding movie. Thanks for watching.
Nicholas Bros. dance routine Stormy Weather, end of discussion. Mic Drop
My all time fave are the Nicholas Brothers. Thanks for watching.
Bingo! Definitely mic drop...
Prince did splits better…. But hey, doesn’t matter.
I'm in Prince's camp but both guys wee extraordinary
It ain't even close james brown by a long shot
I gotta go with prince his splits be smooth jumped iff piano into a split a couch into a split a speaker etc .
Some of those moves were otherworldly.
Brown, for sure ❤
It's been said that Prince (As a small child) was briefly tossed up on stage with JB while he was per4ming in Minneapolis, and that was IT; the rest was history.
I remember Prince mentioned that in one of his earlier interviews.
James brown in the 60s was on a whole different level with his splits
I met him in the early 80s but the 60s he was in another stratosphere dancewise.
@@musiciansreveal the only cats who could give him a run a little bit were Jackie Wilson, and a very young Michael Jackson and James brown was still moving scary
U mentioned all legends. I saw everyone in concert except Jackie Wilson.
Could no one master James Brown foot work James Brown was BAD HE WAS GREAT.
Amazing artist JB
Jackie Wilson, James Brown didn't have anything on him. You best believe that 💯
Thanks Mark. Prince was the total package. Most stars are even missing a talent or two that Prince could do easily.
Early 60s Prince was a child
JAMES BROWN INSPIRED PRINCE
No doubt. Prince talked about it several times. Thanks for watching.
santana hendricks
Prince could do splits and jump off piano and speakers. He surpassed his mentors.
Some of the concert moves were superhuman.
Not according to the guy who was his tour manager who was at every concert after 1984 (that's who you're listening to).
So no mention of JACKIE WILSON nor JOE TEX?
I think there was no mention of others since I asked Alan Leeds about two of the artists he managed. Appreciate the view and comment.
Wilson was a little before my time, but Joe Tex was quite the showman (Give it here !!!) LOLOL
Prince!
They were both amazing but Prince is ahead slightly because if his musicianship but when it comes to dancing I gotta go with James .
Perfect summation. If Prince didn't have to focus on writing, producing, singing, playing guitar, bass, drums and keys, he might have topped all these dancers. But I prefer the way Prince did it.
How dare you even ask this question??🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Shame on me. Thanks for watching.
Prince did a full split and clean.
The best. It had to take a severe toll on his body. But it definitely thrilled us fans.
JB did full splits too in heels and in older age
James Brown is good but Prince would still the show
Prince was an amazing performer.
Prince..
Brown had 2 talents. Singing and dancing. Prince had 4000 talents. Brown loses.
Prince was the complete package. Thanks for the comment.
@@musiciansreveal probably the most talented person to ever exist.
I'm with you a 1000% on that statement Steven.@@stevenmorrison3014

James Brown was born in the year of 1933. Prince was born in the year of 1958.. so how was he was in competition with James Brown's in the 60s
Think Alan was talking in their respective eras. He managed both artists. Thanks for watching .
Prince did it prettier
…and better
Prettyman
Ok guys you can’t compare a singer to a multi instrumentalist
I'm definitely with Prince by a million miles. I think James played a bit of keys.
James Brown was also a multi instrumentalist? He played a *ton* of instruments (drums, keyboard, bass, guitar, organ, etc).
PRINCE 4 SURE!!! Did James Brown jump off 6 ft risers do the splits all the while strapped with a GUITAR, then rise up grab the microphone and play the guitar while in heels ... NO!! Plus James Brown was a woman beater...jus vile!

Saw both live multiple times. Prince is a better dancer and it's not even close.
Haha yeah right 🤣
