James Brown performs his classic hit song, "Kansas City", live at the Apollo Theater in New York City, March 19th, 1968. James Brown: Man to Man was a concert film recorded live at the Apollo Theater. It was broadcast as an hour-long syndicated television special and is one of the first color recordings of James Brown.
The song was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller in 1952. James Brown recorded a version of "Kansas City" in 1967 which charted #21R&B and #55 Pop. At James Brown's request, band member Marva Whitney performed "Kansas City" at the

Video transcript:
[Music]
James Brown: Going to Kansas City. Kansas City here I come. Going to Kansas City. Kansas City here I come. They got some crazy little boxes there, I'm gonna get me one. Look it here. I'll be standing on the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine. I'll be standing on the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine. With my Kansas City baby and a taste and a taste of city wine. I might take a train or I'd fly a plane. If I have to walk, I'm going there just the same way down to Kansas City. Kansas City here I come. They got some crazy little boxes there. I'm gonna get me one. If I stay with my baby I'm gonna die. Gotta find a new woman and that's the reason why. I'm gone. Kansas City here I come. They got some crazy little boxes there. I'm gonna get me one.
[Instrumental Music]
James Brown: I'm going, said that I'm going. I'm going, said that I'm going. Can't strain me, the heart can't bear the pain. Going, I'm going. Everybody clap your hands. Clap your hands. Clap your hands. A little bit louder. Clap your hands. Clap you hands. Ain't that a groove. Ain't that a groove. Oh yeah. The one, two, three, four.
[Instrumental Music]

Sorry all ... Just read the description '68. Thank you sir for post an all the xtras✨
Wish my people would show more appropriation for this. Especially James
The Godfather! 👌
I guess the thumbs down were in regards to all the still shots during the dance breaks (?)
Who cares what they think. No disrespect intended but James Brown was the MAN!!!!
With all due respect to whoever typed the wrong words to Kansas City above >> JB sing (and so goes the original lyrics too) "They got some crazy little FOXES there.. And I'm gonna get me one.. ONE!" So it's FOXES = hot babe. Not Boxes lol
James Brown dances the way Muhammad Ali fights.
Oh mannnnnn!! ... Anybody know what year this was? He was in great form here. I like his outfit too
Joey Night Train 1968
great show, but what about these annoying photographs in between just during the most interesting parts?
This was originally taped for a TV special, “James brown man to man”. So they probably thought it was cute to put those stupid pictures in between LOL! I agree with you they are very annoying! 🙄😬
Poxa na melhor parte que ele dança fica aparecendo vídeo aí estragou 😕
fiquei puto, vim atras
disto, rs
James is The Man but what’s up with the knucklehead editor putting those dumb flash clips in the middle of his dance breaks
Black people are my hero's 👍
Who's the drummer???
John "jabo" starks if I'm not mistaken
And Clyde Stubblefield as well....at this point James was never without at least two drummers
With all due respect to whoever typed the wrong words to Kansas City above >> JB sing (and so goes the original lyrics too) "They got some crazy little FOXES there.. And I'm gonna get me one.. ONE!" So it's FOXES = hot babe. Not Boxes lol
