That was legit how James operated, he had hand signals that he would use for the band and backup dancers and singers to tell them what to do, when they were making mistakes, everything.
And who wouldn’t have internal and group confusion with a man like James “I want you to play WhEn I sAy @$@$” “Man, What!” “That’s right, you got it.” You know his ppl put in hard work too til they were confused why they were only getting band (sometimes heavily docked) wages and James was doing much better.
"cold sweat" was a queue to the piano player. Few people appreciate the fact James Brown was not just the singer, but also the writer and band leader doing live composition. Often in songs you'll hear him counting or saying seemingly random words that are all instructions to the band to play specific rehearsed parts, chord changes, choruses, and fills. He was honestly a musical genius and backed up by some the greatest players ever.
Can we all just agree that this guy is a straight-up Genius!!!!!!! 🎉🔥🥇🏅🎖️🏆 I was not commenting for any likes but I appreciate Us acknowledging his extreme talent.
The acting is ALWAYS on point!😂just the pure dedication from the outfits, to the dancing, to the props and the facial expressions.🤣🤣 PURE GOLD!!👏🏾👌🏾❤ I love this guy!
I went there once, he was old...10 min into the set ,dammit though it was me that was going to die...and I was 40 years younger..no OAP should have that much energy
They had to keep eyes on James for cues because he used to fire people for missing the beat. Also, these outfits... there's an empty Goodwill near his house.
@@Janethedream You should watch Tales from the tour bus James Brown was a mess😂 He didn't like to pay people and he would fire you in a minute He fired Bootise
@@Janethedream Video below of Tales of the tour bus with James Brown. He would fire someone in a minute This was a good show They also did Rick James, George Clinton, Bootise Collins, Prince vs Michael. ua-cam.com/video/spg1m4pSKAQ/v-deo.htmlsi=gFVzHN7da2f_CPu0
Bro go check Williamlastkrm4021 then come tell me who has the best facial expressions on social media.. That guy can literally kill you with his facial expression.. He doesn't even have to talk, his facial expression will get you rolling on the floor.
His facial expressions are on point he needs his own show a comedy show on HBO or E! Hollywood he'd have billions of fans he's awesome !! Ohh I forgot comedy Central yeaaah he would rock it on comedy Central yeaaah!
This brother is so talented he makes your day. I can't wait for him to drop the video. He actually makes you feel like they're multiple people in the studio😂😂😂
Get on up… it’s a call for the uprising of black peoples. He couldn’t really say anything of explicit substance and still get widespread popular airplay. His music is part of the US black power movement.
The way you see things is entertaining and unique. The parts and the way you fill them out to create the story shows me things I did not see on my own. You do me a great service to make me laugh and enjoy the moment you have created here. You are a special talent to create such joy for others. You have my appreciation and gratitude 🙏 😂❤
...I am trying not to crack a smile, then it only grows and grows and explodes into a full laugh and the whole room looks over. Oh man, what can I say, this awesome!
It's true that he was the first to drop most of the unnecessary bells and whistles in popular music, focussing on what actually gets us out of our chairs. It still holds up partly because his band was so f'ing tight!
This is both hilarious and accurate, based on things I've read. James really did compose things on the fly sometimes. And the musicians wanted to keep their jobs in a bigtime band. So if he wanted them to stay on a one chord groove for 3 minutes while he ad libbed, they'd stay one chord for 3 minutes.
Crew member #1: Hey guys, does anyone understands what James is saying'? Crew member #2: No but we gettin' paid, so keep saying «Yeah» The whole crew: «YEAH!» Eddie Murphy
YOU DIDN'T KNOW JAMES BROWN DID COCAINE BACK IN THE DAY COME NOW... 😂😂😂😂😂 THAT'S WHY HE WAS ALWAYS SWEATING JUST LIKE THE REST OF THOSE SINGERS BACK IN THE 60S AND N THE 60S
The acting is spot on and hilarious. Pretty sure they were all anxious cos James Brown needed to control every aspect and demanded a very high level of performance from everyone who worked with him. Love this one man show of the whole crew 😂
His interpretation of what maybe happening in the studio at that time is sooooo believable! I love it! ❤ He got moves too! Your facial expressions are priceless!!!!
His chemistry with himself is top tier

The keys killed it without even knowing the gameplan
There is no doubt in my mind, this is exactly how it went down! Bravo
The pianist had no idea but still sealed the deal 😂😂
Anything to break up the monotony 😅
Right!! 😆 😅
He Killed it👌🏾
@@ThembaPhakathiJames Brown Get yourself together and drive that funky Soul recording skit lol 😂
That's why James Brown had one of the coldest bands back then❤😂
The look of anxiety from everyone except James cracks me up. The poor Sound Engineer is just trying to keep his job.
And still moving to the beat of the music!
I heard James fired ppl if they missed a beat. 🤣😭🤣💀

Right his reaction is priceless.😂😂😂
He was like what’s happening here? You are going off script
That's the punchline
🤣🤣🤣
Not mild uncertainty!
That piano cue was everything!!😂😂
Yessssss😂😂😂😂
Yes it was😂
On point 😊😊😊

It's that triple hip thrust in the beginning....that has it's own language😂😂😂😂. THAT did it for me ..😂😂😂😂

I thought I was the only one that was captivated by the hip thrust!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣
I just died with laff and tears..Probably watched this like 100 times..bro too Good
Those eyes deserve an Oscar. They do all the acting, outstanding!
That's what I was saying! His eyes are so expressive. ❤
Yes. I concurrrrr 👍👍

Tales from the tour bus, video below
Always 😂😂😂
James Brown had his own language and still made hits true legend R.I.P 👏 👏 👏
It's the facial expressions and uncertainty for me! 😂👌🏽
The way this man exchanges awkward looks with himself is iconic
The keyboard player doesn't know what's going on but he gets the assignment XD
James brown spoke his own language.....hei....hey....ababby....lol
You mean IT gets the assignment 😅😂
S t f u talkin
more like the console player who cant keep up with the pc players lol
Bobby was looking like wtf is this n doing to the song
Old songs definitely had looong intros... Which actually make them memorable... It's like a journey
Whatever that language was, it still makes sense
It's the confused look and the eyes darting back and forth for me!😂😅
👎👎
And who wouldn’t have internal and group confusion with a man like James “I want you to play WhEn I sAy @$@$” “Man, What!” “That’s right, you got it.” You know his ppl put in hard work too til they were confused why they were only getting band (sometimes heavily docked) wages and James was doing much better.
Me too 😂😂

This dude is a nut !
Why is the piano man holding a joint, and the engineer threw an OK like he ain't trying to get fired 😂
I wish living color was around, you would of done very well on that show
So true!!
Yes, yes, he would. They would've LOVED him!
WOULD HAVE....
Him and Tommy Davidson in a skit 😂😂
we need to make this happen
I grew up listening to James Brown and this depiction is hilarious‼️‼️‼️I know his band and engineer's STAYED CONFUSED🤣😆😅😂🤣

No they were not confused at all. They knew if they missed one note their pay was docked. JB bands were always tight.
You just earned my subscription with that one. Bravo.
One of the best skits I've ever seen lmao
The muhfuckin keys came in on point. He has no idea what's happening, but he didn't miss his goddamn cue 😅😂

A for dedication for sure, pure talent
And the piano as well
He'll be in the black bios real soon. He reminds me of a sammy da is jr/tommy Davidson
James Brown was in his own world and just invited others in when necessary!😂😂😂
I went there once, he was old...10 min into the set ,dammit though it was me that was going to die...and I was 40 years younger..no OAP should have that much energy
He paid the cost to be the boss that's why
Cocaine is a hella of a drug 😂

I can't stop watching this video! Fucking amazing!
This guy needs to on a sitcom! ❤😂❤😂
This man can complete the whole cast by himself 🙌
Yeah thats what a lot of youtubers do tbh
James knew it didn't matter what he said or what language it was in, he was going gold babyyyyyy! 😂😂😂
