      In ‘66 I was one of two young Black girls who attended the Verde Valley School in Sedona! The Godfather in Sedona, AZ just BLOWS my mind! I did’t really get hip to him (feeling his music) until ‘72 when I was in college!✊🏿

    This song had more lyrics than at least 1995 of his other 1999 songs.😂!!! Bro still had some moves. I think he was about 52 years old on this show.

    James Brown was Much more than an artist/ performer. He was Legend, Not only in the sense of music. He was a Legend as a Human being. He gave more to charity than Handsets of known Hollywood actors combined would not have done. He had a total loyalty to God. He had a heart of Gold, I will surly miss him a Lot.

    JAMES BROWN : HIS music was yesterday, today, and the future. Jackie Wilson, Nick Jagger, Prince, and Michael Jackson to name a few..dancing.....YOU SAW came from James Brown's blueprint! JB never denied his trials and tribulations. He took what God gave him and made it work! This man worked as a child to help pay the rent........He could have been an excellent Jazz composer as well. But MOST of all ...his conversations always included the Greatest of them...God .!

      There is truth in what you've said, however you didn't even mention the most important things he did. This man revolutionized music in many ways not the least of which would be the creation of a major genre, one could argue 'genres', and the fact that James Brown's absolutely original sound was the undeniable inspiration/progenitor of almost everything even remotely popular afterwards. Even the sounds of today have an evolutionary lineage easily traced back to the hardest working man in showbiz.
      Oh yeah he really knew how to treat the ladies too. True blueprint when it comes to handling bitches.
      Lastly, he was/is the model one points to when arguing for the concept of responsible pcp use.

    In the 80s Hiphop & Rocky 4 brought jb back major. During this appearance he had not long got inducted in hall of fame & Had 4 hits riding the charts while his old showbizness peers had either passed away or only ate off oldies revues. He would continue to be in demand for 2 more decades but his domestic and drug issues wore him down . He continued his charity work and respect for artists he influenced and new talent. Rip to the godfather this holiday season 2022.

      She was a comedienne first... that was her swag if you knew her routine. She talked about folks saying she was ugly to dogging her husband and boyfriends. I think she was quoting his book at the time. He didn't deny much in the book except how he treated his band,women, and paid them. that first book is a must read and is still available but later he'd write a updated second book called I feel good . Many the books that came out after his death were historical and broke down his mannerisms.

    James Brown was a great singer. James Brown was not a great human being. People who had been with him his entire life or treated so horribly by him Bobby bird literally got $900 a week when James was making $7000 every night. Forget the fact that Bobby birdcall wrote most of James Brown’s hits and new James Brown from the time he was 15 years old. After James Brown died, it literally took about five years for his state to quit him in the ground because of infighting within his worthless family. James knew that his family was worthless so he didn’t leave them any money. He left all of his money to the homeless children of Georgia. Believe it or not, James Brown’s family fuck that order for five fucking years seriously they weren’t out there making the money. I don’t think James is a great human being, but he was a great artist, and in the end he left a legacy to those children that should be respected.

    Yeah it's better than the original but the song is a weak and lame attempt to recreate the sound of 'Living In America'. And the lyrics are horrible, similar to 'Nature' which had great music but equally idiotic lyrics. If they had any sense they should have released 'Goliath' as the 2nd song, which in my opinion is tghe best JB record on the album by far and one of his best of all time period.
