It's like James is using his own soundboard to conduct the interview
lmao
Bergljot McSandcastle Lol
Bergljot McSandcastle hahahahahahahhaahhaha
Bergljot McSandcastle If by "soundboard" you mean a bottle of cheap cognac and crack rock....then, yes, he's using his own "soundboard" to conduct this interview!
Jammaster James He actually used prescription medication but nice try.
That has got to be the most professional anchorwoman in history. I don't know how she got through that interview with a straight face.
I would have died laughing
+Rodney Davis No way I would've gotten through that without tears in my eyes.
i'd tap that anchorwoman
At 0:50 she is definitely thinking "This is going to be interesting..." lol
I played 0:50 over and over and over again laughing harder each and every time. Funniest part and ish ever. Lol
James Brown was his own hype man.
right
Nigga wasn't high . He Was James Brown
Of course he was high!
trompetayritmo he was high off life )))))))))))
High or not James Brown was the fucking man!
james brown is drugs.
***** Actually, It was 1971 when he fired Bootsy Collins, and it was in the early 80's that he started using PCP.
There is no doubt that this man feels good
yep
I don't doubt it.
Nanana Nananana
No doubt in my mind whatsoever
Funniest comment I've seen in awhile.
'How did all of this trouble begin?'
'LIVIN' IN AMERIKA!!!'
you know what I'm saying lol
+max ambrose haaaaaaaaaaaa
+max ambrose That's the best answer anyone could say.
"nothin' wrong.'"
max ambrose he seemed fairly clear to me.
Intelligent man indeed. Found a way to avoid comment & advertise himself for free.
I want his sunglasses! High as a kite yet sharp as a tack
They look like 80s safety glasses
+Robert Wise yep
he's acting like a stupid fool, NOTHING sharp here
GA Perry Oh get over yourself!
😁😁
She is an amazing interviewer because I would have been laughing the whole time!!
"We dont have to ask anyone about that, we got that from the sour--"
"A-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
LOL!!
Hahahahahaaha
That was the best part
Like wtf was that lol
He was cringing because she was pointing out that he was the one who was saying he was good at making love, like "rating himself", at least that's my interpretation
When James tells the interviewer "get up off of that thang" at the end....LMAO!!!!
I was reading your comment right at he said it. I almost died
LMAO!
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
+Bri Yonce ...............james what are going to say to your fans? Get up offa that thang!!!!
Damn... There will NEVER be another James Brown... Blues Brothers Forever...
My response to all of life's problems : "Let's talk about some music!"
Mine too!
I love how he's quoting his classic hits. RIP James Brown
Sonya handled that like a pro though. Really impressive actually.
She handled it like a reptile. These news programs bring guests on telling them that they are interested in their careers and supporting their latest projects, then they turn it into a crucifixion on live TV. He made it clear he was not there to discuss his personal problems, but his tour. Notice that she refuses to discuss his music, that thing which makes him interesting to the public, whatsoever. He is a legendary musician, and people don't buy his albums and pay good money to see his shows because of tabloid sensationalism, they buy them because he is absolutely one of the best musicians and performers of all time! THAT'S a pro.
@@HipsterEatinShark TOP COMMENT WORTHY 👍🏿👍🏿
He was so high that I don't think he even knew where he was or what he was doing.
True lol but I still love him!
Hayden Skye
Nothing wrong with that.
If he was that high surely he would have sworn on live tv.
he was on crack not MJ
Angel 1062 you can be high on crack but he was on pcp and alotta otha things
James gives a master-class in how to avoid being baited in an interview
But all jokes aside he is really just trying to ignore the negative questions in this interview
Preach!!
Exactly
This will never stop being, the highlight of television history. LMAO!!!!
I like the interviewer's tone in this interview, she handled the interview very well.
I love how he goes right from "I make love good" to "Second Coming" without missing a beat.
Absolute nailer from James Brown 😃 Comment was class lmao man 😃😃😃 Seamless performance for the Godfather of soul 😃He can't say straight The Williams brothers 👀 How does news anchor keep her laugh in 💥
Lol..yea that's what I was thinking
Who couldn't help but love this guy. Wonderfully funny interview.
Deb Butcher maybe all the women he beat through the years beg to differ... surely you're aware he was a notorious womanizer and wife beater.
LMFAO the ending almost killed me 😂😂
1:38 James speaks Spanish out of the blue, "Muchas gracias, yo te quiero mucho" 😂
"Thanks, I like you very much"
Zandra N Thanks for the clarification. I thought he was possessed.
He says to te quiero mucho then follows up with danke Schoen which is German for thank you lmfao
Hasta lawago
That man was a legend and nobody could ever fill his shoes.
Lol how this woman kept a straight face and didn't just start cracking up uncontrollably is Beyond me
"I make love good..."
"... So you have a gospel album coming out"
+Deem Beem right!....LOL
+Jewell Lynn cryin laughin
Lmao
+Chris Sherrod More like the second cumming...
repent
I love how serious he got when they brought up the gospel magazine LOLOLOLOL
In all honesty, the way James Brown reacts the interviewer actually takes this very well.
He was going to wear some dark glasses but then thought "there's no way some shades will hide this high, I'm going with the mega boss giant orange ones!"
hahaaaaahaaa
lmao
hell nah
"Mega Boss" ...buahahahaha.
Willie Murray
LMAO
Watched this for the first time tripping with my girlfriend. The laughter and joy this video brings me is incredible.
I live in Augusta. When I first moved here I met him on the street and he was a hilarious guy.
I love how all along James Brown sounds out of his mind for so much of his interview but when she mention his gospel magazine he straightens right out and gets dead serious.
This has to be one of the best things I've ever seen hahahaha
One of the most quotable interviews I've ever come across. "AHAAAAAAAAAAAA!" hasta luego!
"How are you" "LIVIN IN AMERICA" O_O "..."
Lol frankly, I don't believe he was high at all I simply believe that he don't give not a flyin fuck lol
Yea, we heard it. What are you? A parrot?
+cozIsezSo umadbro
+Thomas Beluga uafuckwitbro
This is a Man's world! "Thanks for reminding us of that, every once in a while we forget"
Hahahahahahaahahahahahahah THE BEST!!!
Jester Jenkins then he said "get up off of thang! " 😂😂😂😂😂
That was probably the coolest on air interview ever!!!
This caption is so unfair..anytime a person doesn't take a dumb ass interview seriously..ppl wanna say they were high..That's bs!! That's James's personality and his energy period.
So true!
Miley Willy it's just people's first reaction to always say someone is high. James was just James..RUclips post irritate me daily lol
It made me laughed so hard. How can one man be so happy? I need to take a page out of James's book. Damn! LMFAO!
Miley Willy I think we all do lol :-)
James Brown was a notorious drug user dude, lets be serious he was high as fuck here and if you cant tell you need to step up your street iq son.
James Brown didn't give a fuck!! Love it
He owned this interview, she was suprised but shouldve expected it from JB..lol
when he got up and danced
Ah haaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I'm single and I want a mango.
Mingle. LOL
+danielscissorhands LOL
dead kennedys!
LMFAOOOOOOOO
Brittany Diaz lmao
He was smarter & more calculating than most people think. He knew exactly what he was doing.
there will never be another one of the legends James Brown
They pimped this man for everything he was worth but they never broke him
he is not high, he's James Brown!
You can't be a pimp and a prostitute, too...
Abbers What do you know about that?
+Marshall Smith™ hasta luego! james brown rules
+Timm Drossart exactly!
James Brown knew how to not tell the news a darn thing, best interview ever.
papas got a brand new bag....of cocaine. loved this guy
I think he played that interview well. He probably wasn't high at all. He was genius in deflecting the questions about his personal life and instead promoted his tour.
Very well put.👍
...This is the greatest interview ever..
James proved a few things in this interview:
1. Reporters should ask professionals about their profession and their profession only (music, art, dance, engineering etc) not their personal life.
2. He has a song for every question you ask him.
3. He can make safety goggles look PIMP!
4. That this truly is A "man's world" and he's THE man.
He just dodgin questions and throwing out lyrics from his songs...hehe
The greatest interview ever! Hands down.
Hilarious. He didn't give a shit
ikr😂😂😂
This is why I love him ❤️
+rbagel55 Yes, he didn't. I read he was out of his mind on angel dust for years. 70 year old dust head, what a truly great man.
+NELSON X Greater than you'll ever be.
+Brundlefly You too.
My mom worked at a bar called the King George james brown was a regulaar there she said that sometimes he would be really nice and other times he would be absolutely insane . He would say to my mom . "If you loose some of that weight ill take you too las vegas '''. She also said that you ALWAYS called Mr.Brown , she called him hun' once and he yelled at mom '' you call me mr brown''.
EPIC!!! Almost every answer is a song title! INTERVIEWER: "How did all this trouble begin?" JB: "Living in America". INTERVIEWER: "What are you gonna say to your fans when they ask you some questions about it?" "I'm gonna say, "I Feel Good", Papa's Got A Brand New Bag", It's A Man's World"...Ha Ha CLASSIC!
I love how he got serious when talking about the gospel album. That is our culture coming through :)
james brgo.
wnbrgown
Dude please...
Jesus got him on act right
Yeah, black folk love the lord, always have and will!
Not quit always but since they were colonized yea
gotta love james brown RIP but his music inspires us all
He was saying his song titles and tried to prompt them to talk about his music instead of his personal life. He wasn't high, he was fucking with the media and running circles around them.
"how did all of this trouble begin?"
".....Living in America!"
hmmmm.
+Da Man DL Easy access to drugs and alcohol when you're rich and famous in America...*sigh*
this is probably one of my favorite pieces of recorded media
LOL! No way would something like this happen today! I love seeing old interviews. Society and the music industry suck nowadays!
Amen!!
RUclips search Is Tracy Morgan wasted on live tv it happens to this day still haha
adriano rizzo Tracy Morgan isn't funny to me. The guy tries too hard and to me he's corny. James Brown on the other hand has natural charisma and charm and is naturally funny when the times comes.
Thats kind of off topic i wasnt saying one was funnier than the other but all good ( james brown doesnt deserve to be alive for beating his wife with a pipe) GhostBlade i was just saying how tracy morgan was wasted on tv and how you said it never happens on live tv anymore but it does :)
GhostBlade Tracy had his best work on the MartinShow ...his SNL career and his standup isn't anything unique or that entertaining. And on 30Rock the writers made sure he was the bafoon of the show
he was fine in the interview....james brown was the best
James Brown = National Treasure!!!
so smooth with it.
James Brown - this is a mans world her- thinks for reminding us of that LMAO
Jude Toal You've obviously never read the lyrics to this song take your feminism bullshit somewhere else. This interview was in 1988. Women could vote then.
Jude Toal Infact women got the right to vote 45 years before blacks so if you are looking for sympathy go somewhere else as well.
I almost had an asthma attack at 04:10 and on. Who is responsible for that!!! Sir or Madam you almost killed me with that edit..so funny!
ROFL no kidding.
I had a seizure. Wish i read your comment before i watched. Came out of nowhere, then the room went dark, then i woke up on the floor.
What an amazing way to tell a nosy person to stay outa your private affairs. JAAAAMES BROWN!!!
Exactly 👍
I feel good Pappas got a brand new bag its a man's world. lmao my dude stood up and did the pelvis thrust lmao
Dope ass Shades
I like how he slips a Prisoner of Love reference in response to her question about him being out on bond. Well played.
She was brilliant!
Yes, she was. And she really kept her cool. Not every interview could roll with it like she did.
Dude she was perfect!
the best interview ever
LIVIN IN AMEEEEEERICA
Lol
One of the greatest interviews in the history of interviews - absolutely off his box! ;))
5150 SHow baby!! "There's nothing wrong" "No im not"
haha 5150 brought me here
Thank god someone taped this.
2:15 - JAYUM!!!!
😂😂
+Kim Runic Looooooooooooool
lmao
+Kim Runic LOL
Best part part of the interview.
He didn't seem high at all, he just didn't want to answer the questions about the case... he knew exactly what he was doing...
you can hear the CNN people cracking up in the background at 1:52 and at 2:50...
Fuckin hilarious haha 🤣
I would have been happy to join them! 😁
Music was in his blood.. a blood color hot red.. His powerful voice ..no one could compete with him.
Eddie Murphy never lied lol
They're no artist like this anymore....he was eccentric, other artist just put on a performance but he represents his music very well...RIP
"I'm sangle and I wanna mangle"
Now that's the way to handle an interview: keep movin ... bob and weave .. duck and cover .. and keep smilin
Yep, he knew what he was doing.👍
" I'm single and I want a mango" Classic Steve
People Can Say Whatever They Want James Brown Was Very Talented!
I look good, I smell good..... I feel good.... An make love good...
he wasn't high..he was just making the best out of that interview
Cocaine. It's a hell of a drug
Totally. He is trying to control it...but the jawing gives it away. Well, the jaw and the behavior haha. The wipe of the nose before he realized that he was on camera didn't help either haha I miss the 80s.
LOL! Good catch.
Saul Silver coke is a shit
well, looking at his nose at 2:15 i think you're right hahah
Saul Silver ITS OUT OF AGUSTA GEORGIAS ANKLE, 2ND COMING. I was 💀
Edit: it's at 3:00
JAMES BROWN ! There ya go! One of the greatest !
He sobered up a little when she asked him about his gospel magazine
James Brown knew what was up!
He forgot to take off his crack pipe safety goggles.
Hahaha.. How Can U Not Love James Brown? Very Comical Interview...
He wasn't high he just didn't want that lady in his business unless it was music business
there will NEVER be another like 'em. God I love 'em.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day!
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
I WON THAT SHIT
MORRISMORRISMORRISMORRIS what's sad? I'm guessing u didn't get it.
3 minutes in I died when he was saying he makes love good and she goes str8 to the gospel publication question. Just beautiful😺
makes me laugh every time i watch it enjoy life more .... James Brown you are the God father !!
