Underappreciated only in today's world of crapo music. He was godfather of soul/funk nobody did it better, and Clide Stubblefield was a great drummer of his I love
WRONG ! WRONG ! WRONG ! James Brown was never under-appreciated?! Error reply cuz with sales of over 50 million albums and sold out concerts everywhere !!
Calling an artist with over 50 million records sold underappreciated is a little odd. I'M underappreciated, if you're looking to champion anybody. Plus, I'm still alive, so...
Guys he was saying he's underappreciated as a vocalist, not that he was underappreciated in general. Which he was, people know him more for his funky grooves and his killer moves than his incredible voice.
I came of age during James Brown's heyday of the late 50s and the 60s. This man defined my generation, his impact in music back then was the best innovative stuff I had ever heard in my life back then. If you're a baby boomer then you'd get it...
Repent and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ or sadly you will have your part in the lake of fire, you must be born again, you must be seperate from the world and hate the sin of the world, including this trash.
James Brown lived where I live and he stayed in trouble all.the time here. Hollywood does not know of all of his shenanigans....too much cocaine, etc. Yes, he did leave a big mark in music.
My first few concerts in 65 were James Brown, Ike and Tina and the Ikettes, the Beach Boys and Paul Revere and the Raiders...pretty cool for a 16 yr old...have seen sooooooooooo many...gave me a love of live concerts
You named some of the great ones that I got a chance to see also. Those concerts was concerts with some great performances and singing. You heard the music 🎶 and the beats.
As time wore on Id add SRV Jeff Beck...Jimmie Lee Vaughan and the TBirds... Eric... Sir Elton The Stones Uncle Ted Gary Stewart Earl Thomas Conley Jerry Lee Lewis Tom Jones...Many more...saw many of these many x...Joe Satriani...many more rock and country...live in fw so lots at Billy Bobs which hosts rock and country...last few were Lee Roy Parnell Gene Watson and Eddy Rsven in my small town....was gonna see E in 77 but he died that August...never got to see Garry Moore.. one of my faves...never really cared to see the Beatles....saw everybody else though...
I'm about as big of a James Brown fan as it gets, and -- all these years -- I had NO IDEA that James Brown performed "Slaughter's Big Rip-off" ANYWHERE EVER! Thanks!! Johnny's band brought the goods for JB!
in 2014 johnny carson /tonight show released a official dvd w/slaughter & interview ..You can pick up this dvd on ebay for few bucks ...But that dvd didnt had If i ruled the world which ive never seen before , but i have the audio since the 90,s ...
I saw him in Boston in the late ‘80’s . Me and the other guy I went with were the literally the only white guys in the crowd! We drew some strange looks but once the show started and the crowd got into the show everything was cool . To this day one of the best shows I’ve ever seen . He was the hardest working man in show business!
"If I Ruled The World"... wow, just wow. Most people don't realize what a fabulous voice James Brown really had. This song absolutely showcases his vocal talents. I'm glad Johnny Carson asked James Brown to sing this song. How Glorious!
There are many great clips of JB singing on YT -- but man. That ballad is one of the greatest segments I've ever seen from Mr. Brown. Just speechless here -- thank you!
It’s great when artists step out of their typical comfort zone. Brown, known to be exacting with his band and dancing up a storm, performed here with an emphasis on vocals and music. I love it.
The man had some serious dance moves. James Brown was indeed the real GOAT. When James Brown was inducted into the Hall of Fame, he had two top ten hits out.
What can you say about James Brown. True innovator. Brought funk gospel soul to the mainstream with Ray Charles. Lots of early dance steps picked up by break dancers and Michael Jackson. Just a ton of talent and entertainment skills.
Dad used to see James Brown at the Apollo while at Columbia Law School '65-68, and I saw him (sort of ) in 79 in AK and in Paris in 06. Funny cameo in Dan Ackroyd's Doctor Detroit. One of Chadwick's signature roles - The Godfather of Soul, JB! (Great second number here).
He truly was a class act and set the high bar forever in being the ultimate live performer. No doubt that he was and he rightfully earned the title “The Hardest Working Man In Show Business.” R.I.P. J.B.
I'll tell you what, I grew up with James Brown, & the first time I saw Janelle Monáe perform, "Tightrope" (at the White House for the Obamas), I thought holy cow, she is the female rendition of Brown. She set the stage on fire. She even sent one of her earrings flying into the audience. POTUS Obama told her where it landed after her set was finished. If you haven't seen that particular performance by Janelle Monáe, please watch it. She was jaw-dropping, in the same exact way that James Brown was jaw-dropping. They both have 'IT'.
James Joseph Brown (Barnwell, Carolina del Sur; 3 de mayo de 1933-Atlanta, Georgia; 25 de diciembre de 2006) fue un cantante de soul y funk estadounidense. Progenitor de la música funk y una figura importante de la música y la danza del siglo xx, a menudo se le refiere por los apodos honoríficos Padrino del Soul, "Sr. Dinamita" y "Hermano Soul No. 1".
I recall seeing the Television article in the World Book Encyclopedia years ago, and it featured pictures of a production of this show. It took me a long time to find it, but this was the actual episode that was featured in that article.
this is the first time ive ever heard the man actually sing instead of the usual grunting..lol wow.. spectacular voice, absolutely spectacular... i gotta hear more...
JB, what a world class, talented, innovative legendary man. That 2nd song was like heaven to my ears. This man can sing his butt off with so much soul. JB fan forever!
Was able to see The Godfather of Soul a few years before he passed, even at that age the man was a showman, don't think i've ever scene someone sweet so much.😎
Mr. Brown and Mr. Carson had great admiration for each other and their particular talents. This was when Late Night Television was singular with great BIG Stars. Thanks for sharing.
I saw on RU-vid that James Brown had some violinists in his band sometime back in the 1960s. I really enjoyed that. The violins made that second song If I Ruled the World sound much sweeter. Violins can sound dramatic at times also.
This was just plain funk, The Tonight Show Band really, really, really back James Brown up, l like that drum beat and those horns were funky and If l Ruled The World was fitting, shows again that he could sing any style etc
