Bobby was going for it in this song! I can see the heat coming off his body. Bobby and James was cut from the same cloth! If James is The Godfather of Soul then Bobby Byrd is The Uncle Of Soul. That good uncle that you love to death! Get Down Uncle! yeah!!!
The Original Leader and founder of the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted vocal group The FAMOUS FLAMES...and the man who discovered JAMES BROWN !!
Hank Ballard had a BIG career with his OWN singing group, THE MIDNIGHTERS....on the SAME record label...long BEFORE James Brown was ever even HEARD of !! OVER 2 DOZEN HITS !!
James tried to use physcology on Bobby, saying that he couldn't pack a house on his own. He tried to hurt Bobby , to try to keep him subservient to HIM. This house looks pretty packed out to ME !!! Besides, If Bobby was as non-talented as James CLAIMED, then WHY IS IT that , every time Bobby left James kept BEGGING HIM TO COME BACK ?? Plus while you're thinking about THAT , CONSIDER THIS: why did all of the Classic JB Bandmembers leave Brown and jump ship with BOBBY ? (Think about it) .
Great show - they're making the place go up in flames, but what would you expect from this lot! I also have to say, Byrd's daughter looks absolutely gorgeous, lord help me...
1989 was among the prime years in james brown sampling and the golden age of hip hop. its great that the jb horns,bobby byrd, and the funky divas were able to tour on the original funky people jams that were diehard jb fan collectors items. maceo had quite the jazz career at the time ,while fred and pee wee were both frontmen and directors in james' original bands and funk phase.
Saw Bobby Byrd way back in 1966 (when with The Famous Flames) doing solo warmup set for James Brown. Best rendition of "Got My Mo-Jo Workin" I ever heard...Maybe even better than Jimi Smith or Muddy Waters version. Sure wish JB would have given him his just due.
Maceo, Fred, Pee Wee, Bruno... wait... is that Chakha Khan too - nope, Vicki Anderson :D?!? Thanks for posting this, this is awesome! Edit: Just realized that Jerry is on the bass... one of the absolute most underrated funk bassists of all time! Edit: Damn... posted about the exact same comment 2 yrs ago... getting old and losing memory sucks!
James Brown said to Bobby Byrd, in the motion picture "Get On Up" ,that he could not fill a concert hall alone . I don't know about YOU, but This concert hall looks pretty full to ME !!!
If it wasn't for BOBBY BYRD and The Famous Flames, there wouldn't even BE a "James Brown". He would've still been rotting away in prison on a 16 year stretch for a robbery charge. It was BOBBY'S family who actually SPONSORED Brown's release, took him into their home, and secured employment for him . Bobby put him in his singing group , The Flames, and moved him to the position of Lead Singer...and the rest is HISTORY !!
James Brown's Band was ALWAYS more LOYAL to Bobby than to James, because Bobby was a nicer person , and James was a hard taskmaster . Why do you think that they're all here with BOBBY ?? It's too bad that Bobby couldn't get the other members of the mighty Famous Flames back together to do the shows with him and the band .Bobby Byrd, Bobby Bennett, Johnny Terry , and "Baby Lloyd" Stallworth were a phenomenal vocal group .
BOBBY BYRD was posthumously inducted into THE ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME in 2012 as a member of the singing group, THE FAMOUS FLAMES , along with the OTHER Flames members, BOBBY BENNETT (who accepted on behalf of the group) , *JOHNNY TERRY, and LLOYD "Baby Lloyd" STALLWORTH*. This was an AUTOMATIC INDUCTION, done without the usual process of nomination and voting, under the premise that The FLAMES should have been inducted with lead singer JAMES BROWN back in 1986. (The James Brown Band/JB's, a SEPARATE GROUP from the Famous Flames, were nominated, but NOT inducted , in 2015) . facebook.com/thefamousflamesbysandibennett/
Looks like , while James Brown ended up with the generic Soul Generals, all of his original bandmembers ended up jumping ship with Bobby Byrd !! Maybe THEY liked BOBBY better !! Too bad the Famous Flames (Johnny Terry, Bobby Bennett, and Lloyd Stallworth) didn't join him TOO !!
This is not the case JB had Maceo, Fred and St.clair in 1988, but you know what happened to him that year, so the three ended up performing with Bobby but it was a one year thing. It was not that long. Indeed they sounded good, but James Brown still got a good band later on!
This is terrific ! All those great musicians, young and older, backing Bobby. What a show!
The great ones of my generation and before!! God love 'em. There is nothing on Earth like Soul Power. They worked hard for their money.
Now that's a great show
Best sideman in the business! Him and James Brown now only made funky music they made history !
Pure Funk! RIP Bobby Byrd.
I love this video. Yes
Bobby byrd is one real soul brother
it's like all pieces of a puzzle... 101% GROOVE
Bobby was going for it in this song! I can see the heat coming off his body. Bobby and James was cut from the same cloth! If James is The Godfather of Soul then Bobby Byrd is The Uncle Of Soul. That good uncle that you love to death! Get Down Uncle! yeah!!!

If he hadn't been affiliated with JB, would have been a great solo artist in his own rite (imho). He was so loyal.
Hank Ballard had a BIG career with his OWN singing group, THE MIDNIGHTERS....on the SAME record label...long BEFORE James Brown was ever even HEARD of !! OVER 2 DOZEN HITS !!

He tried to hurt Bobby , to try to keep him subservient to HIM.

Mr.Bobby Byrd y'all~ He ROCKS! You can tell he has such talents,but all his youth was spent on James Brown's success.
James Brown said to Bobby Byrd, in the motion picture "Get On Up" ,that he could not fill a concert hall alone .

I think this was the james browns people tour saw them at The Forum in London ,Maceo walked right through the audience while playing
James Brown's Band was ALWAYS more LOYAL to Bobby than to James, because Bobby was a nicer person , and James was a hard taskmaster . Why do you think that they're all here with BOBBY ??

This IS funk allright? Anyone here to disagree?
Muziekgenot Well, right now there is 10 Sad people up top that Have No Soul!
Where was James Brown?

Say yeah
Family funk :)
Fred (stellar!), Maceo, PeeWee - I can see Bruno Speight, Jerry Preston too, that's one heck of a lineup here!
SOS Band member in da house yeess.
James brown have he ever introduced his wife
Looks like , while James Brown ended up with the generic Soul Generals, all of his original bandmembers ended up jumping ship with Bobby Byrd !! Maybe THEY liked BOBBY better !! Too bad the Famous Flames (Johnny Terry, Bobby Bennett, and Lloyd Stallworth) didn't join him TOO !!
I agree, this band sounds funkier than a lot of James’ later bands
This is not the case
JB had Maceo, Fred and St.clair in 1988, but you know what happened to him that year, so the three ended up performing with Bobby but it was a one year thing. It was not that long. Indeed they sounded good, but James Brown still got a good band later on!
Bobby needs propx
