Uncle Brizz.. Yes, but his band was on fire BECAUSE JB wouldn't settle for anything less.. He PERSONALLY rehearsed and worked that band, and EVERY band he had, into to a fine-tuned machine.. There's video of James fining band members for missing licks in the middle of live shows.. He would 'flash five' fingers at the player for however many dollars it would be..
Greatest artist of all time. The most sampled singer of all time. The greatest showman. Godfather of soul, father of funk, rap music. A true legend. To put it in a nutshell: a genius. There will never be another James Brown.
Whitefolks just sitting there like logs, ha haa even Zombies have more life, Zombies would at least be moving their hands trying to eat James, I guess that's the way it was in 1968.
1968 was also the year I discovered James. I'm a little White boy with a new transistor radio. The usual Top 40 wasn't doing it for me one afternoon so I started flipping through channels and came upon 'There Was A Time'. I was compelled to bop to the beat. I'd never heard anything like this. My mother was not amused hearing that come from my room and requested I find a 'station where they play good music'. Yeah, right. I don't entirely know how visible James was to White audiences then. I know my parents had never heard of him. When I scanned this audience, they appear predominantly White. I'm betting very few people had any clue who he was. Later, a friend of mine had me over to is house to listen to records. His way older brother, who was in a band at the time, had a sizeable collection of James' records. Great! I managed to become acquainted with several of his tracks. Legendary.
THANK YOU MY BLUE EYED BROTHER! I MEAN THAT FROM THE HEART. I FOLLOWED JAMES BROWN FROM 1962 LIVE AT THE APOLLO 1962 WAS THE FIRST ALBUM MY DEAR FATHER BOUGHT ME. THAT WAS IT I WAS HOOKED
That Exit, That Set, Those Dance Moves, That Band, That Preciseness, That Soul, That EVERYTHING, That Bad SoulFunker Mr James Brown.....often imitated but can NEVER be duplicated! Thank You World for giving us this baddass dude!
A finely honed musical juggernaut, lead by one of the most talented, and determined humans to ever grace the world. A force of nature. Superhuman - Superbad. So damn grateful for the music created by these men. People are awesome.
You see James slide right off the stage??? I don't care what anyone says, Michael nor Prince had nothing on James. But their style as well will live in history.
The audience, in their eyes, was watching a cutting edge and dynamic performance-outside of their personal cultural milieu. Many of them were from the Big Band Era, and beyond; and what James presented, performance wise-was strange, foreign, exciting and possibly refreshing.
James Brown is my all-time favorite entertainer and I think he’s the greatest entertainer of all time but the greatest dancers of all time in my opinion are the Nicholas Brothers. That’s all they did was dance and James Brown or Michael Jackson or an even half as good as they were as far as dancing was concerned.
I know this is old, but man this performance is at the top. The way the band set up and jamming, the sister up top doing her Thang, and the best at it JB ripping it up tareing it up funking it up this is way up there.
As a prolific singer, songwriter, dancer and bandleader without a doubt no musician in modern history has set the standard for live performance quite like “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business” Mr. James Brown performed live at USO Show in 1976, Pearl Harbor Navy Enlisted Club Hawaii will always be embedded in my soul.
That exit "stage right" NO Joke!!!: slides to the right taps the left toe twice...switches to the opposite side...crosses his leg over just before leaving out of sight. Their has been no one who I've witnessed, in my lifetime who can glide like that instinctively like water...cold blooded man, that James Brown was.
James Brown in my book was the world's first "REAL" Entertainer who did not only put the "E" in entertainment but was truly an innovator & trendsetter who paved the way for other entertainers of all colors. RIP James Brown!
James Brown is my second favorite artist ever but Elvis was the first "real" entertainer. He put the concept of singing and dancing, show business and lifestyle into one package. Modern celebrity culture largely stems from Elvis. Even musicals like Grease or Saturday Night Fever are largely based on the persona of Elvis and movies like Loving You.
Read what I said, "the concept of singing, dancing, show business and lifestyle into one package." Everybody has been singing and dancing since the beginning of time. Elvis' influences came from many black entertainers and many more white entertainers as well as some Latin and European influences. But the concept of the "CELEBRITY" comes from Elvis. He was the first real celebrity where he became a figure onto himself and became apart of the fabric of society. That's the basis for the modern celebrity.
Now this was music and considering this was on a major network show at that time with great performances from the show and the production values were incredible for that period. In other words , JB just came out and destroyed on the Hollywood Palace!!!!!!!!!
SEEN J5 AT FOURM IN LA 1973 I WAS 8 YEARS OLD , MOM TOOK ALL 5 KIDS TO SEE THEM, SHE WORE EAR PLUGS, RICK JAMES IN 1981 I WAS 16 YEARS OLD SUPER FREAK A CUT FROM THE STREET SONGS LP. WAS OUT .BUT I SWEAR NOTHING WAS A EXCITING AS JB. WISH ID BEE OLD ENOUGH TO SEE THIS LIVE I WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WHEN HE PERFORMED THIS ... OH HOW I WISH
Uh, Yes I did. Best night of my life. James gave 111 percent. No one sat down for 4 hours. Yale Bowl, 1968, New Haven, CT. Cost of all that Soul was $3.50.
Oh Yes We Did!!!!! You'd Have To be braindead not to know exactly what we were experiencing...we took it all in....every perfect funky note, dance move, James' very hip Process, how he carried himself, how the Famous Flames danced their asses off!! And the JB's, James' band never missed a note. James was also known for his infamous "Downbeat." Nobody ever told James what to do, and we loved him for it...He was born for greatness and nothing could stop him. This....Was an Epic night and yes, we felt so lucky seeing James at the top of his game!! James was already known worldwide as, "The hardest workin man in Show Business". A true Original.
@@elvishabonimana8796 Leaping out of our seats with 40,000 other James Brown Fans, dancin in their seats and aisles non-stop for 4 hours.....all for $3.50. Fabulous.
Sorry Tito, But you're insulting everyone who drove miles just to see James perform. Don't tell us we didn't know exactly what we were experiencing. We knew we were the lucky ones so grateful to get a seat. History in the making ......but that was James giving us 200% of himself on stage. So lucky to have seen James perform at the live TAMI production in London along with Barry Gordy's lineup of all the Motown great performers..James Nailed this performance with his band, The J.B.'s backing him up and the Flames dancing to keep up with James. Pity the band that had to follow James on stage.....See, Can't remember who they were. I miss him. His originality.. And Thanks to Amelio Castelo, Singer, Songwriter, producer, arranger and Founder of Tower of Power; all miss James, his dedication to be great and his love of performing for his audience, Amelio wrote a tribute to "The Godfather of Soul" by writing the song "Sometimes we all need a hit of James Brown." It's always in Tower of Power's Lineup.
imo The best thing about youtube is the app to see kick-ass performances like this. A close second it reading the over-the-top comments, pro and con, written in absolute superlatives. They crackl me up.
Well said man. Watching this audience look stiffer than a varnished eel, it makes me embarrassed to be white. Imagine how much harder it was for JB to perform to such a crowd. James was on another planet though. He couldn't care less. What a performer. What a talent.
DID YOU HEAR THAT so beautiful SECOND SONG !!!!!!!! So you all out there know now that JAMES BROWN COULD HAVE MADE ROMANTIC SONGS ... but he left that for other black fellows to PROMOTE THE unique FUNKY FUNK FUNKY SONG STYLE of JAMES BROWN !! 👍🏾MAKE IT FUNKY !!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 GOOD LORD ! I FEEL GOOD !! Thank you JAMES RIP !! Btw CAN YOU FEEL THE ENERGY OF THAT ARTIST !!! ????? There was a TIME ....
As already noted by the previous poster, that was comedic actor Phil Silvers, not Fred Silverman who was a big-time TV executive for many years. Johnny Carson used to joke about him on the Tonight Show back in the day. The Hollywood Palace was a weekly TV variety show that was on ABC if I remember correctly. Phil Silvers was a very funny guy and was the star of an absolutely hilarious sitcom called The Phil Silvers Show from 1955-59 in which he played Sergeant Bilko (some people think that's the name of the show). The show was centered around the antics of a crew of soldiers in a military motor pool. I love that show -- worth checking out if you can find it. They don't make 'em like that show anymore. Think I'll go have a look around youtube....

He did more in 10 minutes than others could do in an hour.

Ok boomer? Now screw you!
These days in there careers lol🤦🏾♂️
Facts all day

R.I.P. My friend Richard Jones, July 2, 1926 - September 16, 2018. Rich played violin on this show, he's between the two ladies.
God be with Mr.Jones & James.
Wow! THAT is so deep!!! Richard Jones rest in GOD'S PERFECT PEACE. I'LL SEE YOU IN THE RESURRECTION MY BROTHER!
James was good, but let's not forget: his band was on fire
Uncle Brizz.. Yes, but his band was on fire BECAUSE JB wouldn't settle for anything less.. He PERSONALLY rehearsed and worked that band, and EVERY band he had, into to a fine-tuned machine..
There's video of James fining band members for missing licks in the middle of live shows.. He would 'flash five' fingers at the player for however many dollars it would be..
That’s because James carried that kerosene on stage.
James was BADD!! Who do you think arranged and directed the Band???
FLAMES to be exact !!!
@@carlbamburg7439 Straight Truth 📣📣❤
Greatest artist of all time. The most sampled singer of all time. The greatest showman. Godfather of soul, father of funk, rap music. A true legend.
To put it in a nutshell: a genius. There will never be another James Brown.
Ditto
Exactly. The most sampled singer and the most sampled drummer (Clyde Stubblefield) at their pinnacle.
Yes that right
You forgot, he’s also the ambassador of funk!
8:50 It's like magic. Best stage exit in show business history.

Clyde and Jabo on the drums. It never got any better than this.
James Brown and his band were always on point!!!
The way they went from Cold Sweat to Try Me was absolutely amazing! I’m in awe of this whole performance!
RIP Clyde witcho bad, funky self.. one of the greatest ever!
Anytime I'm feeling down or frustrated by life I listen to this man.
A finely honed musical juggernaut, lead by one of the most talented, and determined humans to ever grace the world.
A force of nature.
Superhuman - Superbad.
So damn grateful for the music created by these men.
People are awesome.
Yes yes yes Superbad
If I ruled the world was James Brown’s emotional classic ballad. This was played at my dad’s memorial when he passed away 3 years ago.
Im in love all over again. Backup dancer was incredible. Had a huge crush on her as a boy.
You see James slide right off the stage??? I don't care what anyone says, Michael nor Prince had nothing on James. But their style as well will live in history.
He is the total inspiration for today’s dances like the shuffle
That exit was fantastic!🕺🏾
James Brown never put on a bad show, a mediocre show or a decent show. He was always there with his "A" game. Legend.
Gets me every time.
What a sonic juggernaut.
Force of nature.
Super human, superbad.
Live band, live orchestra, live singing, one dancer…unprecedented today!!!💕💜
I keep playing that exit over and over. The greatest stage exit ever. Nobody could do it like JB in his prime.
The Soul Master Himself. No other like The Godfather Of Soul.
I appreciate the whole sound, movement, and creativity that this man brought to music that would be forever influential even to this very day!
Bloooood you too young to remember James, hell your boys are snooppy Dogggy Doggg and Bigggiee smallls
@@matt7iron did you not see my comment? Does that look like a man who can't feel this music?
Im 45 with a 65 year old soul bro!
Amen how are you?
I could watch this a million times & never get tired of the greatest ever PERIOD
I've watched it three nights in a row now. Fantastic!!!!!!
That band, that band is sooo funky, excuse our funk we're just having funky fun.
The audience, in their eyes, was watching a cutting edge and dynamic performance-outside of their personal cultural milieu. Many of them were from the Big Band Era, and beyond; and what James presented, performance wise-was strange, foreign, exciting and possibly refreshing.
Every time I watch this I get the chills. James was bad but that band good lawd.
polished professional performance ..flawless THE hardest workin man in showbiz
“JAMES BROWN....Master of the GLIDE , the enigmatic of the QUICKENING FEET!!!👀 I am a true son of the 60s THANKS James later man!!!!!💙🎼🎶
Michael Jackson said !! he would cry when he watch this man dance!!!
James brown greatest dancer ever... Rip soul brother number one
Joe Villagrana you're so right.
Michael Jackson

you watch it and it still doesnt look real its incredibel
Real god! Nothing compares to him!
And THAT ladies and gents is how the king of soul rolled
The female dancer was good dancer!!!!!!
She was. I bet James knew how good she was at dancing in private, too.
He had it all. And that scream!
That was the baddest stage exit!!!
No one else can come close to that level of cool

He’s gonna go far back can I go to go to the exit 😯
Remember learning those moves as a teenager, always got the girl, by the way, those musicians where afraid of him, you can see it in their faces,
6:15 the original funky drummers...jabo.... and clyde with the solo...
Yup, rare colour footage of these two in their prime.
What a friggin beautiful stage setting that was. Awesome colors and lights. Also, best stage exit by a performer ever.
The way he exited and then how he cut that corner was so DOPE💯🔥🔥
We still love ya from the CSRA 🙏🏽✊🏽
WOW!!! JAMES I SEE YOU, I SEE YOU, WELL DONE!!!
THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT PERIOD. MR. JAMES BROWN AND THE JB’S
James Brown in my book was the world's first "REAL" Entertainer who did not only put the "E" in entertainment but was truly an innovator & trendsetter who paved the way for other entertainers of all colors. RIP James Brown!

90% of what elvis did the way he dressed his gospel influence came from black people he use too go too a black church an set in the back

@@kevinortiz602 hmmmm
I cant say that. Their styles are VERY different. MJ moved like silk very smooth. JB broke his ass onstage.
Very rehearsed choreos can't beat spontaneous and explosive moves
