    Awesome. Heartbreaking. There's a reason this man was called the Godfather of Soul, and here's why. There are two great live versions of this song, the one from the Sex Machine album (with the full late 60's James Brown Band in peak performance), and this from 1981. The King's empire was crumbling. All the extraordinary work Mr Brown had done for the past 20+ years was falling through his fingers. Disco was tearing it all apart. The hits had dried up. The taxman was on his tail. And as well versed in showbiz as he was, you can't help but feel the genuine rage and despair as the GFOS falls to his knees, his once magnificent head of a hair now a wild mess, nowhere near his mic even, crying 'help me somebody!'. There will never be another James Brown. But one was more than enough. Cherish his music.

    I respect James Brown as much as anyone who ever lived and watching and listening to him pay tribute to other performers just shows you what kind of a person he really was.
    The video clip ended before he finished with the tributes, but I think he went on to also pay trubute to John Lennon and Jim Morrison. The man was as big a legend as there ever was and he also respected and appreciated his fellow performers.

    Dünyanın kalbine herkes sanatını armağan edemez!
    James Brown iSTANBUL'A geldiğinde yağmurlar yağmış ve onun müthiş sahnesinden dünyaya armağan gelen bu sanatçı yüreğinden çok şey öğrenmiştim!..
    Onun hayat notaları ve insanlığı hep aramızda yaşarken ona ne yazsak eksik kalacak!..
    MERHABA BROWN...

    music is from the within,
    there's always some James Brown within us, some a lots, some a little
    and James Brown is never lost, except he is at the end of this song

    I saw him in concert the year before he died and it was such a phenomenal concert. He really did put a lot of passion and effort into his shows.

    Watching him sing this makes me just cry. That man sang from his soul back in the day. Nobody can be compared to him then OR now.
