James came to my hospital in Okinawa and put on a magical show for all of us. What really blew me away is that he visited ALL the patients after the show. He actually spent a few minutes with each and every one of us!! ! missed seeing him at the Charlottesville, Virginia and he died just a few later. The memory of him will stay with me forever.
Cannot cancel greatness ,,a new moto after I read something in the news ,good for you ,your eye seen him and everyone had a spectacular time ,great story BRH Okinawa Japan ,war time or visiting .anyway memories for ever
The kid claimed that he enjoyed excessively watching the great dancers footwork...he simply wanted the cameras to be glued on Jamesbrowns foot work , gliding left and right...
Rip James brown this video just reminds you that old school was alive and well this is why Michael Jackson became so famous he emulated a lot of dance moves like the great dancer James brown and the great dancer like Jackie Wilson whom Michael Jackson loved to watch these black men singing and dancing and swinging when he was a young boy ....nothing is a coincidence in life
After tearing the house down with a marathon of Please Please, he gives the crowd another five minutes of full on, non-stop performing. I was out of breath just watching it. Can't imagine how he did this every night for so many years. Amazing.
The dancing machine! Saw James Brown, his 21 piece band and the Famous Flames in 1964 at the Shrine Auditorium in San Bernardino, CA, and experienced my first earthquake that night. That was my first ever Musical Concert, I was 18 yrs. old. Had just moved to SoCal a few short months earlier. 60 yrs. ago!
I was 14 in 61, went to see him and the Motown Revue at the Regal theater in Chicago for only one dollar and 25 cents. Love all his music , my jam is Get on up.
@@o.g.j.t.5922 bullshit, white man. Dancing is their culture and the music dictates how they dance. Black Americans use their feet when they dance and Caribbean people use their hips and asses because that's what soca, reggae and calypso dictates. Black people don't influence each other when it comes to dancing because it is part of the culture. If he was of another race/ culture you could say he is influenced by James's brown but dancing is literally their culture so there us no influence like you think. It is the music that tells black people how to dance that's why black music is called soul music. If you are white you would not understand.
LOVE ME SOME MR. BROWN. HE WAS MY FIRST CONCERT AT WHITING AUDITORIUM IN 1968 OR SO AND I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. REST IN PEACE MR. BROWN. I WAS WITH MY LATE GREAT AUNT SAPHRONIA WILSON.
He was original and unique. Will never be one like him. He loves what he did and gave audience his best that any performer . He was a school of his own.
Too bad bad on numerous occasions, that he treated his band mates terribly, and underpaid them even when he became super big making the big bucks! Surprising when you know how poor his upbringing was!
The famous T.A.M.I. show from 1965 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. Brown and his act couldn't help but really stand out-hands down the best act of the two day show.
When you watch the whole show Mick comes on stage next. Mick was scared cause James was a hard act to follow. So Mick tried to imitate james Brown.So if you ever seen Mick moves that was his version if James Brown.
Everytime I watch this fantastic footage I can't help smiling at how memorized the young black lady looks at 12-25 minutes into this video. She's just standing still with a lovely smile on her face.
I watched the great James Brown’s taped shows as a kid in Harlem’s movie theater. I loved it then and I still do as a grown woman!!!!! He was fire then and he’s still fire!!!!!!! 💕💕💯💯
His performances of "Please, Please, Please" (1956) always makes me feel good. I don't know why. I guess it's when he recovers and returns to the stage.
pleasure to see him 3 times. what shows, esp his back up band. unfortunately he wasn't dancing as much as I hoped, but it didn't matter. blew the doors off. RIP.
Absolutely THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH and the Famous Flames were fabulous! I was 5 years old when I first saw this and I was never ever the same…Great great man I own at least 10 pairs of Chelsea boots because I saw them lined up in his dressing room at the Howard theatre
God Father Of Soul James Brown Earned His Title 4Sure.The Hardest Working Man In Show Business.I 💘 All Of James Brown Talents.What A Legendary Iconic Phenomenal Singing n Dancing Sensation.He Was A Good Actor As Well.Rip Mr.James Brown.Often emitated but never Duplicated.
Love me some JB. Had a chance to see him and the Motown Revue in Chicago at the Regal theater in the SIXTIES. Tickets were only one dollar and 25 cents. I'm 71 now and still jammin.
@@jointheirs5640 This IS BAND ON SOME EARTH, WIND 🔥 SH×T. B4 they existed. And I cant understand what he's saying ALL. CAN. UNDERSTAND IS OUT OF SIGHT.
This Tami show was my introduction to James Brown I,ma fan to this day I got to see him live before he died,this is why he,s called Mr Dynamite,and the hardest working man in show business. He,s rocking it in heaven.
No one could touch this man for talent and entertainment. He was way above anyone. If anyone tried to do those moves he used to do they would break there ankles.
Cleveland, Ohio 1968, The Allen Theatre, James Brown was there on stage, and I was in the audience, , I'll NEVER forget what I saw , truly amazing....... Thanks for the upload.
Second the reply.. this type of act entered. Now they come on stage looking like they rolled out of bed and act like the audience should be happy to be in the presence of the act
as a little 12 year old my sister would take me with her to see James Brown and the Fabulous Flames in Durham, NC near the Trailways Bus Station east side of downtown. A mixed crowd, black and white. Momma allowed it because having me she couldn't get into any trouble. Drop us off, pick us up. James wasn't the only R&B show I saw. I cannot remember the names. Hard core R&B Durham NC. 1962.....James made it big.
My cousin was mayor of Durham back then. He owned Evans Dollar Stores. He resisted law enforcement when they wanted him to close his integrated lunch counter. Sorry, didn’t see my earlier reply a long time ago.
@@donaldthompson4044 Yes order the Tami show on Amazon it's the concert that was filmed at the Santa Monica auditorium it was the first movie ever to be released in theaters as a full concert. TAMI stands for teenage America music international.
@@marquitashiver6141 You need to have Soul to get into the grove. He was "Out of Sight" and "Please Please Please" don't go-----Now "All aboard for the Night Train
The godfather soul brother no1 shook our world in the seventies. Look at JB himself listen to the classical drum beat listen to the bass guitarist the colaboration of all the group are super fantastic they stormed Nigeria in 1971 Thank you all your wonderful
The FAMOUS FLAMES’ dance steps were downright EXPLOSIVE!! Dancing at 100 miles per hour…while meeting James at Center Stage…while he slides out on one leg to meet them !!! I’ve NEVER seen a more DYNAMIC ENTRANCE!!! Today’s copycat artists just CANT compete…or compare !!
Blimey ! Watching their footwork alone was worth the price of admission ! Don't get much better than this ! THANK YOU so much for sharing this bodacious '"blast from the past" with us ! CHEERS !! :-)
GIFTED AND HISTORICAL! Just imagine those skils came from fiddling out on the front yard of a shak when moma and daddy was gone to work. That is good in 2018.
IMO, JAMES BROWN was MUCH better with his original singing group, THE FAMOUS FLAMES, than he was as a SOLO artist, with just his BAND. I don’t care what ANYBODY says . Bobby Byrd, Lloyd Stallworth, and Bobby Bennett were just AWESOME!!He pushed THEM to be better….and THEY pushed HIM ! The RESULTS were SENSATIONAL!!
Roy Clark , 👌🏿💯 he was one of my favorites! I remember when he came to the Uptown in Philadelphia ,Pennsylvania, I was young but we had great seating and on the way home we were trying to dance like he was doing. We tried to buy all of his new records! Man! Happy Times 😂😂😂👌🏿💯
