- On May 5th, 1985 the Apollo's renovation is celebrated with a 50th Anniversary grand reopening and television special, "Motown Salutes the Apollo." and was hosted by Bill Cosby.
James Joseph Brown, Jr. (May 3, 1933 -- December 25, 2006) was an American recording artist and musician. One of the founding fathers of funk music and a major figure of 20th-century popular music and dance, he is often referred to as "The Godfather of Soul". In a career that spanned six decades, Brown profoundly influenced the development of many different musical genres.
On December 25, 2006, Brown died at approximately 1:45 am EST (06:45 UTC) from congestive heart failure resulting from complications of pneumonia, at age 73, with his personal manager and longtime friend Charles Bobbit at his bedside. According to Mr. Bobbit, Brown stuttered "I'm going away tonight", and then Brown took three long, quiet breaths and fell asleep before dying.
James Brown received a variety of awards and honors throughout his lifetime and after his death. At one city, fans voted to honor Brown by naming a bridge after the entertainer. In 1993, the City Council of Steamboat Springs, Colorado conducted a poll of its residents to choose a new name for the bridge that crossed the Yampa River on Shield Drive. The winning name with 7,717 votes was "James Brown SoulCenter of the Universe Bridge". The bridge was officially dedicated in September 1993, and James Brown appeared at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the event. Although a petition was started by a local group of ranchers to return the name of the bridge to "Stockbridge" for historical reasons, the ranchers backed off after citizens defeated their efforts because of the popularity of Brown's name. Brown returned to Steamboat Springs, Colorado on July 4, 2002 for an outdoor music festival, performing with other bands such as The String Cheese Incident.
During his long career, James Brown received several prestigious music industry awards and honors. In 1983, Brown was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. Brown was named as one of the first inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at its inaugural induction dinner in New York on January 23, 1986. However, the members of his original vocal group, The Famous Flames (Bobby Byrd, Johnny Terry, Bobby Bennett, and Lloyd Stallworth) were not inducted.However, on April 14, 2012 The Famous Flames were automatically and retroactively inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside James Brown, without the need for nomination and voting, under the premise that they should have been inducted with him back in 1986. On February 25, 1992, Brown was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 34th annual Grammy Awards. Exactly a year later, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 4th annual Rhythm & Blues Foundation Pioneer Awards. A ceremony was held for Brown on January 10, 1997 to honor him with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

This Brother, James Brown is dressed to nine's, if there is such a thing, this is clean to the bone, what does he do to keep his hair like that(absolutely sharp) this is a classic performance, love this song Please, Please. I like how Mr.Brown went down the steps a little bit so the lady could take his hand when he was singing that lyrics in the song, a Fantastic Performance.
Brilliant! I love my people! !!!!!

bill with Little Willie John....JB himself has said that he never appeared on Amateur Night

Does anybody noticed that the strings on this song is out of tune? Well, one of the strings is out of tune but you can hear some of it is in tune. That's my question for all the musicians that post a comment on this video. How do I know you ask? I used to play in band in school.
Kayanda Eddings where do you hear strings in the recording?
@@trollza21 on the bass guitar.
Isn't the goat head on his blue cape 1:48 - 2:00 a symbol of satan? Was there some reason why they chose not only to use it in the show but to highlight it with long exposure and hand motioning from the other guy? I mean it's the most basic and common satan symbol other than an upside down cross but maybe JB didn't realize it. It's usually incorporated inside of a pentagram - the horns ears and chin fit in the points of the pentagram.
Not all singers worship Satan you know
I'm not sure what brought you to infer that from MY comment but best wishes to you anyway mate!
It,s not a goat head idiot, it's a bull. James Brown was a Taurus. God where do you guys come from?
Shut your paranoid ass up
Lay off the glass dick.
well this is a big pot if good ol controversy
Illuminati
I hope James fined the crap of that bassist. His bass sounded flat as hell!! LOL!
I noticed it too. I made a comment about it and some people didn’t believe me.
