      Calling an artist with over 50 million records sold underappreciated is a little odd. I'M underappreciated, if you're looking to champion anybody. Plus, I'm still alive, so...

      Guys he was saying he's underappreciated as a vocalist, not that he was underappreciated in general. Which he was, people know him more for his funky grooves and his killer moves than his incredible voice.

    I came of age during James Brown's heyday of the late 50s and the 60s. This man defined my generation, his impact in music back then was the best innovative stuff I had ever heard in my life back then. If you're a baby boomer then you'd get it...

We drew some strange looks but once the show started and the crowd got into the show everything was cool . To this day one of the best shows I’ve ever seen .

      I'll tell you what, I grew up with James Brown, & the first time I saw Janelle Monáe perform, "Tightrope" (at the White House for the Obamas), I thought holy cow, she is the female rendition of Brown. She set the stage on fire. She even sent one of her earrings flying into the audience. POTUS Obama told her where it landed after her set was finished. If you haven't seen that particular performance by Janelle Monáe, please watch it. She was jaw-dropping, in the same exact way that James Brown was jaw-dropping. They both have 'IT'.
