He is the most sampled artist. He is an ICONIC godfather of soul and funk. The foundation of early hip hop sonic sound and production
The early years of hip hop definitely built on the backs of James Brown and the Parliament/Funkadelic camps.
@@sonsofthesportsguy, got that right!!
People use to make fun about how few words he needed to make a hit. Like everyone else, we would dance all night long to his songs. Flash back!!!
Other icon Song is Living in America
When we were young in the 1960s - James brown was just SOUL ……pure grit and funky SOUL. ‘Nuff said
i saw him live in Liverpool, he was almost two hours late , stuck in a jam and the band just jammed until he turned up . what a band then Mr brown came on and started the gig for real , what a show, what a showman
many artist if they are late, seem to give the performance of a lifetime.. like they are making an apology for being late, so they make it up to the crowd ...
George Clinton was late to a show in the Night club I worked at in Louisville, his 90 minute scheduled show .. went for 6 hours.. All of Coyote's Corner was bouncing that night.. amazing performance
I wish I could've been at both of those shows.
jealous..wow
Please, you SAW him, you did not SEEN him. We are among the dumbest populations on the planet. Listen to less music and read more.
James Brown was a gigantic talent.
RIP.
Great reaction! James had one of the most iconic bass players in history, Bootsy Collins, and his brother Catfish playing guitar! Bootsy signed with James when he was 18 and Bootsy went on to play with George Clinton in P Funk and did a ton of studio work including Dee-Lite’s Groove Is In The Heart you guys reacted to. You guys should definitely react to some Sly and The Family Stone! Sly Stone was the Prince of the 70’s. He wrote the songs, played all the instruments, mixed everything, between James, Sly and George they basically invented funk!
Was just reading comments to see if anyone mentioned the Collins Brothers. Thanks, I agree totally.
Bootsy is one of the best.
The bass is absolutely solid. Beautiful.
Totally agree about Sly and the Family Stone. On this channel I've pushed them to react to "Everyday People," which to me, is one of the most perfect pop songs ever recorded. It has a message we all need to hear without ever being preachy. It is just so catchy and infectious. If anything, the biggest criticism you can make of that song is that it is too short, just under 2.5 minutes.
@@RDRussell2 Yes, when I was a kid I used to play Everyday People to death. Gotta love Sly and the family stone.
JB was the Godfather of Soul and then had a whole new career when he started doing funk. A true legend.
Get on the good foot is my favorite James Brown song. I can see why Michael Jackson looked up to him. Great reaction. James Brown was before my time. Still listened to the grown folks playing his music.
Love James Brown. I'm not much of a dancer but at the the dances I used to go to on Saturday nights in 1959 I always requested his song "Try Me" and found myself a young lady to dance with. Still one of my favorites by him. It would be a good song to react to!
He recorded - This Is A Man’s World and years later sang it live with Luciano Pavarotti. Both amazing.
Beautiful song!
My favourite James Brown song.
Think they've already watched it.
@@milton1969able Yes I just found it. Thanks
@@paulhanson5164 YES!!!
J.B.'s other nickname was "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business." His work ethic in the music business was legendary. He practiced his band until they were razor sharp. They performed hundreds of concerts every year. Brown had memorized the names of most of the best-known venue operators and influential DJs east of the Mississippi; if a performance fell through in a certain city, he could usually line up a replacement concert venue within hours. He was one of the most influential artists of his time.
Came here to say this.
Yesss, and 'Mr. Dynamite'. 🙂
I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert in 1969. I was 17, 70 now.
Quelle chance surtout dans les années 68 -73 ces meilleurs années
I saw him at Madison Square Garden sometime in the late 70's I was a 17 yr old Day One Hip Hop head and in early hip hop he was king he is the reason we have this culture we call Hip Hop
I saw James LIVE in 1968 , I was 15 years old and had won a VIP pass so I was about 25 feet from the stage. James and his incredible band played Sex Machine and other hits just as in this video. NO CELLPHONES, no huge monitors , no big light show, just James and the band. Memory I can never forget .
I love your channel and only wish you had the opportunity to have seen some of the great entertainers live in concert as I have been blessed to have seen. Peace and love to all.
I saw James Brown when I was 15 too! That was 2001 for me though. He was supporting the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but he stole the show for me! I'll never forget it!
omg thank you for sharing such a wonderful memory!! you are so lucky!!
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "I Got You" or "Get Up Offa That Thing"!!! Gotta be live, even if you have to blur it!
James was "Soul Brother #1" and 'The Hardest Working Man In Show Business"!
Superbad
Doin It To Death
@@bertisjordan1085 Funky Drummer
I saw him live the year before he passed. The man never slowed down. It was two hours of energy that filled the venue. Y'all don't know. Godfather of Soul reigned supreme.
James Brown is a master musician, did a lot for just being black in America, fought a lot of battles to do his music his way and keep it that way, and also went bat ish crazy too. You're not going to go wrong getting deeper into James Brown.
When you need to move and immediately dig deep into a groove, James Brown will get you there.
My Dad's Spanish, and when he was a teenager, his nickname was actually "Keeropa". He didn't know any English, but was obsessed with James Brown (still is), and would go about shouting "Keeropa" instead of "Get Up-ah". Now, he actually understands what he's singing.
Thank you for sharing. It truly touched my heart. I can't explain why, it just did and I'm grateful for it. May you
, your Father, and family be forever blessed.
@@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817 Thank you!
The funk knows no language barrier your dad has it and it had to come out bless him 🙏
@@ToniMcGintybetter late than never, I always say.
@@GeorgeMaster-xg7lg Indeed!
Along with this song, "I got that feeling" is my co-favorite. It was great to begin with, but got revitalized thanks to an episode of The Cosby Show. If memory serves the really tall guy in the background is bass player Bootsy Collins who had his share of funk masterpieces in the late 70's.
James Brown could wake up the dead and get them dancing. 🎶🎶🎶 The Soul Man was magical. Funky. Everything you want in a song . "Pappas Got A Brand New Bag". Loved your reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
"Pappas Got A Brand New Bag" is a groove beyond a groove!
Had the honor of seeing James Brown live in Greenville SC about 2years before he passed. They aren't lying when they call him "The Hardest Working Man in Showbusiness. He played around 3 hours with no opening act, just a 10 min break in the middle of his set. Amazing at that age, he was dancing & just as loud as ever. Quite the concert.
Aaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhh!!! I was so excited to see this on my feed!!!
James has so many amazing songs, but this is one of my faves, soooo happy you guys have heard it!
He's one of those artists who can bring people together, and start a party, no matter who or where you are.
My kids & I dance around to Mr. Brown a lot haha.
Much love, from Australia xx
I have read that James Brown was not just dancing, he had a set of moves that he was using to conduct the band. That, on top of singing. An immense talent.
James Brown is also in the movie "The Blues Brothers"
that was a great scene!
So glad yall posted this! Love James Brown! Pappa's Got A Brand New Bag!! He was a good friend of Elvis and that Janis Joplin I keep talking about was called a female James Brown.
You need to look up what it means for his band to be "On The One". It transformed Soul Music!
Others may want to move like Jagger, but I just want to dance like James Brown!
I gave them a breakdown of JB's "Gimme my ones!" rule for his bassists. Thanks for knowing about it, btw. 👍
"Sex Machine" has been called the foundation of house music (that piano!). That "cosigner" is his old friend Bobby Byrd, who actually introduced James Brown to *his* (Bobby's) group the Flames. James took over, the band became the *Famous* Flames, and the rest is history. Bootsy Collins, his brother Catfish, and their friend and future Spinners lead singer Philippe Wynne backed him on this as part of James' backing band The JBs. You should check them out ("Doin' It to Death," "More Peas," "You Can Have Watergate [Just Gimme Some Bucks and I'll Be Straight]" -- honestly it's all James Brown 😄). My personal favorite? The most sampled track in history -- "Funky Drummer." It's a shame it took *so* many years for the Funky Drummer himself, Clyde Stubblefield, to get his due.
There are NOT enough words to express my love of the Godfatha, "Mr. Dynamite", Soul Brother #1, "JB", Jamessssss Brown!!! I've seen him live in concert at least 10 times and never wanted to leave the concert when it was over. I was always so pumped up. The best place that I witnessed his power and genius was at The Parkwest venue in Chicago back in the early 80s. I literally sat through two full concerts in a row. God bless his soul. RIP JB. JB got me through some hard times. Turned him on my stereo and all was good in the world!! So many outstanding musicians in the tightest band on Earth, The JBs and The Famous Flames. His bands were always tight!!
The original true Soul Man. ❤️
For a while, my football team (UK) played James Brown, “I Feel Good” every time we scored a goal.
I loved it & love him. Great reaction to a great song
Your discipline to stay in your seats while jamming out to James Brown is impressive.
He was a real genius.
He wrote most of the music.
Including the Horn parts.
he ALWAYS killed it! every time.
He's the Godfather for a reason! Insanely talented.
He was magic live, his moves were like liquid flowing across the stage.
Mr. Brown had the tightest band EVER. I'm 74 years old and I still react in awe....
Oh my!! Here we go! Get on up!! Bobby was with James for years. I think he's the guy that covers and comforts James at the end of "Please Please Please". That should be your next JB song if you have not reacted to it already. You go, Jay!! Now! Shake! Great!! There's an artist I wish I had seen for sure. Thanks! Great reaction!
Bobby put the cape on James when he went to the ground.
@@bertisjordan1085 Thanks! Thought it was him. I was pretty young when first saw that and was just totally blown away by the theatrics!!
Great reaction!, 😃 Michael Jackson was greatly influenced by James Brown, he admired and emulated his footwork, and you could see it in early videos of the Jackson5. Another really cool tune from James Brown is "This is a Mans World" Thank you! Peace! ☮
I wanted this as my wedding song. Can you imagine as my bride and and me walking down the aisle to with this song blasting? I think our parents would have gone crazy. It did not happen unfortunately.
I won a disco dance competition in 1971 just to this song, and i still today love to dance to this perfect disco song, I just cant sit still. Peace & Love from Sweden.
I always like how his musicians were moving when they weren't playing.
James Brown was a staple artist in my house growing up. We have so many records of his at my mom's place! Mom and I saw Brown in concert at Mohegan Sun before he died. The man is one of the best entertainers of all time! And he had the tightest band! No Michael Jackson, Prince, Bruno Mars or any other artists would exist without JB!
Many artists, particularly Michael and Prince acknowledged the impact James Brown had on them, especially his showmanship and dance moves.
White Go-Go boots were "THE" thing for all of us back in the day & the girl dancing are rocking them. Certainly no lyrics to speak of, but dancing to this was a marathon of fun. 💞
The sad thing is that there will be people who have never heard of her, and now she has passed away. RIP and thank you, Judith Durham.
She performed with James Brown?
Can you imagine?
Judith Durham--- Aussie Funk? I agree she was wonderful. I at least will not forget her songs with the Seekers:

THE Godfather of Soul, Mr Dynamite, Soul Brother Number One, The Godfather of Funk, Mr Please Please Please, The Hardest Working Man in Show Business, The Minister of the New New Super Heavy Funk. Love James Brown forever! Came to our house after a concert. So cool ‼️
I went to a James Brown concert at the now-defunct Atlanta (GA) Fulton County Stadium way back in 1967. You two, had you been born way back then, would have loved it! Talk about energy-producing soul and funk! That man never stopped moving during a performance.
He had a TV dance show late night in Atlanta when I was growing up in the 70s. Teenagers and young adults would go there to get in tv and dance. 😊
I'm a 65 year old English grandma ,this my dancing tune for as long as can remember, shake your money maker !
Every so often I watch this live performance. This song is incredible on so many levels and is so iconic ❤️ long live James Brown
LOVE this video! I'm a prog rock fan from London UK, and the first time I heard this track (in 1972 I think), my reaction was the same as yours. The moment Clyde Stubblefield starts that drum groove, everybody's dancin'! Music like I'd never heard before, and things would never be the same...
Great reaction again, Jay and Amber. Check out, 'Get Up Offa That Thing', 'Night Train', 'Ants in My Pants', 'I Got You', 'Papa's Got a Brand New Bag', and a later one 'Livin' In America'.
JAMES BROWN is a legend. Great reaction🙂
Also I'm Black and I'm Proud
James Brown is a master. So many great tunes. This one inspired Led Zeppelin's The Crunge.
where is that confounded bridge?
Huh. Always wondered about that one.
Bonham loved James Brown’s drummer.
James Brown led one of the tightest bands in popular music for years, especially with the unstoppable rhythm section of Bootsy Collins and Jabo Starks, the guitar scratches of Catfish Collins, and Fred Wesley leading the horn section.
Presumably, all of Brown's dance moves were a way of "orchestrating" the band; that's how they seem to shift gears so seamlessly without any apparent direction from him.
Like a . . . machine of some sort, I guess. :)
A lot of his band members left him over pay and went over to P-Funk and George Clinton and he ended up doing the same thing.
I'm 56, got to see James Brown live. It was the issh! ❤❤
I have not seen anybody react to James Brown. I LOVE James!! Try Me is a stunner song. If you haven't seen the T.A.M.I. show you should put it on your list.
The Rolling Stones had to follow James Brown, so they had never been under so much pressure to "bring it". Thanks for mentioning the T.A.M.I. Show. 👍
@@twenty3enigma I went to see the show twice And the first time I was a big James Brown fan the second time I was more into the Rolling Stones and I almost got into a fistfight with another girl there. Lol Not my fault!
This song sends chills down my spine in the first bars. Saw him in the early 70s at the Apollo in Hammersmith, that night everyone was up that night was electric. His dance routines was something else. Listen to it’s a Man’s World. One of the best concerts I have ever attended. God Father of Soul, he paved the way for so many artists both in rhythm and dance. Happy that I was there at the beginning.
James Brown definitely carved his musical niche with a very infectious chill sound...never a dull moment with this man...Best wishes guys😉
On bass guitar the incredible Bootsy Collins, with his brother Catfish Collins on rhythm guitar; the world's greatest hype man is Fred Wesley. Thanks for this awesome reaction video, RobSquad!!
Saw James Brown in the legendary Channel in Boston in the mid-80s... on the rundown wharf, smoky, sweaty, low-ceilinged, one floor, no seats, place was packed and rockin! One of the best shows I've ever seen... and I've seen many. Will never forget it. RIP JB and The Channel
Some years ago, I bought the James Brown box set on CD. To be honest, there wasn't a whole lot of variety among the tracks, but really, you don't go to JB for variety -- you go to him for SIZZLE... and there was plenty of that!
Godfather of soul and the funkiest band ever. You can't help but get up-a!
What perfectionists!!! There is a straight-line connection between this song and "Uptown Funk." So so cool and clean and funky! 😍😎
My older brother turned me on to James Brown back when I was a kid (12-13) in the 60s. He left it all on stage.
James Brown is legendary. Like a lot of the legends from 60s- 80s, his live performances were memorable. He put his awe and soul into his live shows. He was an amazing dancer as well. MJ was influenced by him.
Thank you for reacting to James Brown. His music was mentioned in one of my favourite Australian movies, "The Sapphires", but although I know he was a famous musician I have never been fortunate to see film of him singing before. It is fantastic that you show such a wide range of music. Thanks again.
Soul Brother #1.....Mr Dynamite....The Hardest Working Man In Show Business.... James Brown and The Famous Flames... Always spot on and never made a bad song. Thanks for reacting to this one. Keep on keepin' on. BCNU...
U couldn't even imagine how exciting >James Brown Live was - "I saw him "Live alot in 1970 & 1971 - "The most exciting on the planet" - "Period" - "There Was A Time" & "Give It Up - Turn It Loose - "Live" - "The most powerhouse jams" - "Check them out - "Young Bloods" I wrote a song called "The Godfather, The Prince & The King" in honor of James, Prince, & Micheal"
James Brown was 100% groove and soul!
Hip-Hop and Rap owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to James Brown - there, I said it.
EPIC chair-dancing, you two!
An essential album is James Brown's "20 All-Time Greatest Hits!" and you can't go wrong picking any of those songs for this channel. Although I prefer James Brown's funky side, if you want to hear a different side (ballads) there are two from that album I can recommend: "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" and "Please Please Please." His vocal prowess can get lost in a song like "Sex Machine," but in the ballads you can hear that this man can SANG.
I read once that James Brown's great gift was being a band leader. He's up on stage leading the entire ensemble. They are following him note for note. When he asks the band if he can "hit it and quit," or to move on to the bridge, that's not a lyric. That's him leading the band. He does that a few times in this one song, and once you know to listen for it, you hear him in this role in quite a lot of his songs.
James Brown was a genre all his own. His dance moves were legendary.
The Godfather of Soul, The Hardest Working Man in Showbusiness.
When he "made it" he bought the building he shined shoes in front of as a boy.
He's the godfather of soul,annointed 😅
Anyone who fails to be moved by this, is dead inside. Sex Machine is the ultimate groove 💜
James Brown was the greatest performer ever! I never got the chance to see him myself before he passed, but my dad went to a show of his back in the 80's, and to this day he raves about how it was the best damn concert he's ever been to lol. Everyone from Michael Jackson to Prince to tons of other funk, soul, pop, and hip-hop acts were all hugely influenced by him. James is probably the single most sampled artist in hip-hop besides maybe George Clinton and P-Funk. Next up from JB, you guys gotta do "The Payback", that song goes EXTRA hard! "I don't know karate, but I know ka-razy!" lmao.
Fun fact: During a televised concert in the 60's called the TAMI show, they were trying to decide who the final act of the night was going to be and it came down to either James Brown or The Rolling Stones. They decided to let the Stones decide if they wanted to go last after JB or just before him. They opted to go after him. To this day Mick Jagger says it was the biggest mistake they ever made, because JB's performance completely blew them out of the water, and their performance seemed anti-climactic as hell coming right after lol. You know this man was a SERIOUS entertainer if he could make the Stones look weak in comparison!
Woohoo! The Godfather of Soul!!
Founding Father of Funk!!!!!
Next suggested artist!
Curtis Mayfield- " Superfly" 🔥
The most soulful Cat that ever lived!!
You all have to remember, sometimes the instruments are the stars, they are the voices. It's the groove & how it makes your body move and feel.
🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😅😅🎉🎉🎉🎉
James Brown.....one of a kind!
He played the Preacher in the Blues Brothers at the point when Jake 'saw the light'
It's his dancing, moves, he did the first moon walk!!!
THAT BROTHA ....HE GOT SOUL!
Great reaction! been waiting so long for you to get here. I don't usually comment but on this i must say a word. you guys are doing great work and you"re reaching the roots of different types of music. you just reached the root of funk. now you're ready to get more Sly and P-Funk and jackie wilson. keep going and growing...love you!
I saw James Brown when I was 8 years old......came out dancing like him. Hahaha....lol....hahahaaha.......Excellent concert!!!
Fantastic Guys..James Brown was the "Man" back in the day & his Band , the JB's..who were originally called the "Famous Flames"...were Dynamite!!!!!..I Myself saw James Brown perform at the Apollo Theater & it was AWESOME!!!! The Godfather of SOUL...& my fav Tune by him was "Doing It To Death" along with "Sex Machine"!!! ******
His music is timeless. Way before their time.
I had an edited version of this as my wake up alarm that cut out the talking at the beginning. So when my alarm when off, it was just the orchestra hits and then it's just "Get up! Get on Up!" and so on. It was definitely a good wake up song.
Awesome to see you two react to this one! I officially became a fan of this song in June/July 2000, when I was 15. I had heard it in the 90s, I believe, though.
Anyway, at the end of June 2000(one week after the end of my freshman year of high school), one day my dad took me and my younger brother over to Best Buy. He copped the 'James Brown- 20 All Time Greatest Hits' album, and played it daily.
'Sex Machine' was on there, and I got to hear it pretty daily for the next week or so!
My favorite James tune will always be "The Payback." Haven't heard it in years.
James Brown was at his funkiest with this version of the band. Other hits form this era include: Licking Stick, Hot Pants, Make It Funky, and I Don’t Want Nobody To Give Me Nothing, Open Up The Window, I’ll Get It Myself. Also Check out Papa Don’t Take No Mess and Payback from 1974.
100 💯 Pure Funk, SIP GODFATHER FOR HE WAS A BIG PART OF THE SOUNDTRACK OF MY CHILDHOOD. I promise my father played his music everyday day after work...let's not talk about my family's Parties. Good Times and Warm Memories. My Sibling's running around the house playing with our first cousins in NYC while the elders got their party on.
I’m one of those people that put James Brown > MJ lol for good reasons. It’s a treat that y’all reacting to the most transcendent and most sampled artist of all time
In hip hop
@Osas you can make a good case!
"The Godfather Of Soul" James Brown "Down And Out In New York City"...A MUST HEAR Classic!!
This man was Icon....he created a band being 'on the one'. He had some of the best players around. He was raw and very real...... every rapper out there sampled him and owed him money. James Brown's influence on music cannot be denied.
James Brown was quite the taskmaster when it came to his band. He had certain verbal and physical cues he would give to his band members to do certain things. If they didn't catch it he would levy fines against them.
Get Up Offa That Thang, The Big Payback, Living in America (his last charted hit, used in Rocky IV)- heck, you can't go wrong with ANY James Brown song. That man had so much soul in him, it's impossible to listen to one of his songs and not come away with a giant smile on your face.
You gotta listen to "It's a man's man's man's world", then listen to Neneh Cherry's answer song "Woman", best combination ever
Anytime you want to get your feet and body moving… James Brown is the go to!
The true Godfather, Soul Brother #1! You need to get into his funky stuff. Papa's Got A Brand New Bag, Lickin' Stick, Out Of Sight, Can't Stand It, Cold Sweat, There Was A Time, Mother Popcorn, Say It Loud (I'm Black And I'm Proud), I Don't Want Nobody To Give Me Nothin', Soul Power, Doin' It To Death, Payback, Hot Pants and many, many more! I barely scratched the surface! James catalog is deep!
This song was all about making you move. And it did that fantastically... even to this day you cannot sit still listening to this.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to present to you a man who needs no introduction. The star of our show, the one and only Mr. Please Please Please, Soul Brother #1, the World's Greatest Entertainer, the Hardest Working Man in Show Business, Mr. Dynamite himself: the one and only *JAMES BROWN*
love how you started dancin' immediately!
James Brown live at the Apollo theater in New York is one of the all time great concerts..its a must watch.
dude you'alls dancin' is where it's AT!!
IN THE MOMENT! GET IT!
James was a freestyle singer. I don't think he ever wrote down a lyric. He just sang what he felt. The JB's were probably the best backing band EVER. They were so tight. Fred Wesley on trombone and Maceo Parker could play any woodwind instrument even Bootsy Collins was his bass player for a while.
"Introduction of the JB's/Doin It To Death" is a must listen. It's a bit long but after listening you'll truly appreciate them!
He was what they call a task master - band must be tight!
