JAMES BROWN Talkin' Loud And Sayin' Nothing (complete version)

[mahone42]

"Like a dull knife just ain't cutten, talking loud and ain't saying nothing. Make a nice commercial song for crooked politicians (lol)

[sandralawson18]

I can live with this a little longer, I love this song. I just wish you bring back Sexy Sexy Sexy, and

I'm going to keep on bugging you, until Sexy Sexy Sexy comes back. Lol.

[oskamadison]

Ike, I might have asked you this before but where do you find all these alternate and unedited versions?

[IkeDyson71]

[jakeenan]

We're all guilty of talking loud and saying nothing, sadly. Didn't listen enough to the great man, did we. Thank f**k the shit he laid-down is still here to educate us.

[anandanaga999]

aND HIM AIN'T GONNA BE ANYWHERE-But OVERTHERE REAL SOON.

[gj804]

@anandanaga999 No, when I hear this song, I think about the Republicans, Teabaggers, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, the people who claimed they were going to be all about jobs and complaining about Obama, and instead did a whole lot of nothing.

[botvinnik64]

@gj804 Right on! You speak the truth, brother!!!

[anandanaga999]

[IkeDyson71]

@eddiematrix1

anandanaga999 is an oddball. I've left a few of anandanaga999's comments up, purely for the comedy effect. But some I've had to remove, as they are too ridiculous even for other lunatics to understand.

[MONKEYMAN32able]

[dognasty3]

Oh yeah!!!

[PaulDA2000]

This is possibly his most underrated and under appreciated big hit. It went to #1 soul and #27 pop in 1971. Great beat and message. It's funny I only remember him playing this live the first time I saw him in concert in 1971.

[PaulDA2000]

Don't forget, James Brown's singles sold more than the pop charts seem to show. Charts are based on a combination of sales and airplay and with virtually NO top 40 airplay in the seventies, his hits routinely went into the 20s and 30s with just sales to go on. For example, 'The Payback' sold over a million yet only went to #22 pop, yet outsold many pop hits that even went to #1, like Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes 'The Love I Lost'.

[IkeDyson71]

@PaulDA2000

Great points there Paul.

[sandralawson18]

@IkeDyson71 Yea Ike! You've been talking a lot about James Brown, but what about the other male artist such as Wilson Pickett, Joe Tex, and Johnnie Taylor, and Tyrone Davis. I'mmean,

they are also one of my favorite male artist as well.

[IkeDyson71]

@sandralawson18

Well, since this channel is exclusively for James Brown, what do you expect me to talk about on here? Stevie Wonder?

I have some Johnnie Taylor and Tyrone Davis up on my other channel. I'll send you something to your inbox.

I don't what you're whingeing about anyways, because there's plenty of stuff up on YouTube by those other artists!

[sandralawson18]

@IkeDyson71 Well, they are apart of the music too. Hey I'm not the only one who listen to

their music you know. I've love all kinds of old school. Well, if you got another You Tube

website these other artist, I'm hip to that. I was just kid my ownself when I've heard of James

Brown. That's up to you, I can not tell you what to do.

[sandralawson18]

@IkeDyson71 That's up to you, I can not tell you how to play music.

[jakeenan]

@PaulDA2000 Yeah it's true. And on top of all that his white audience in the 1970's were deprived of his music. Yet, he tied with Elvis in the 70's with the most amount of hit records- 38. The great man sure did refuse to lose.

[anandanaga999]

Uh yEah! Timely.. So hot.. I hear him still, in Herman Cain!

[twalkerjr]

Thanks for that info.



[IkeDyson71]

@twalkerjr

Now how about that original version - in the Video Responses (below)?

[twalkerjr]

@IkeDyson71

Thanks for the invite, thumbs up.

[twalkerjr]

I read somewhere that James created these lyrics in reference to Jesse Jackson, because back in the day Jesse chastised James because he was driving a Cadillac and dating a white woman. Listen to the lyrics, they fit. If anyone can verify that I would appreciate it.

[IkeDyson71]

@twalkerjr

Firstly, I can tell you that he most definitely was NOT dating a white woman at that time.

Secondly, I believe we can take him at his word when he said, in his ghost-written auto-biography, that it was a message to politicos in general, and not aimed at any one of them in particular.

[sandralawson18]

@IkeDyson71 I love this longest version. Can I keep this version?

[IkeDyson71]

@sandralawson18

Sure you can keep it. Do you know how to download it?

[sandralawson18]

@IkeDyson71 Not really! That's your thang1 Hahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha--haha­hah!

Hahahahahahaha! I'm just listening to this music. I just happens to love his music, and I like the way he doing his own

Hip Hop, long before all of these young todays kids even burn.

[IkeDyson71]

@sandralawson18

Why don't you know how to download it? You said on another video - I'm A Greedy Man - that you've been downloading music. So why don't you know how to download straight from YouTube?

[sandralawson18]

@IkeDyson71 You're the one who were suppose to be professional, I'm just from the old from

the Old School. Besides, the way that James Brown plays it fully, I don't need to add anything

else. I just happens to love listen to James Brown as you do. But what the other like Wilson

Pickett? Ike! Because he's apart of old school oldies too.

[sandralawson18]

@IkeDyson71 Because, I'm from the old school just like you. that's why. I'm barely learning how to use the computer, little known I know how to download anything, unless have me a MP3s player. Look! I love James Brown, because he's not only a performing artist, but he is also a

Godfather of Hip Hops and Raps. They're the ones who has copying off of James Brown.

[sandralawson18]

@IkeDyson71 Not Really, I'm just an listener like everybody else. Those are your stuff.

Hahahahahaha---hahahahaha! Lol.

[whatevermaybemaybe]

...from the days the Funk was Damn Funky & Uncut...!!!

[chokletdiva]

A lot of politicians should listen to this song..cause its all about them.....and I didnt call names either, cause it applies to......

[tdbrown88tdb]

that's how it is about today's music talking a lot of shit about nothing

[debgirl12000]

@IkeDyson71 I don't know if you were being funny or not but she is my best friend of 30 years. We have been friends since 5 years old. We grew up together onLong Island. Went to parties together and double dated back in the day. I have been married for 26 year to my college sweetheart and I have 3 children. Not many people have friendships extending that long, so i am blessed to have a sister/girlfriend who has stood by me for that long. I live in NYC and she lives in Seattle Washington now.

[IkeDyson71]

@debgirl12000

Hey, I was just putting you on baby!

[IkeDyson71]

@debgirl12000

I tried to send you a video, but you are on Friend Lock! Too bad!

[IkeDyson71]

@debgirl12000

I tried to send you a video, but you are on Friend Lock! Too bad!

[sandralawson18]

@debgirl12000 Do they ever tired of playing the instruments or something? I know you do have to a bathroom sometimes you know.

[undergroundmoe]

this is just raw as hell!!!

[MrSimplepleasures]

@undergroundmoe CHECK this out (big Moe) I still an't got tired of this grove, tell me just one person TODAY who can rock a beat like that and do it so raw, James was the Mozarc of his time. You could mis that song just the way it is and,, today it would be a hit , Horns are funky as hell drummer in the pocket, Dam bra Brown is that gap between 1. 4. 3. blues riffs, and where we are at present.

[undergroundmoe]

@MrSimplepleasures i completly agree with you fella. he brought the funk. the j.b.'s are the best and rawest band i ever heard. he invented the groovee and. drummer is fucking straight like a machine. doin it to death fella

[debgirl12000]

@MrSimplepleasures JB was the man, and as for anybody rockin this beat like this today? PUHLEESE! There are no bands today! I thank god that I grew up during the era and generation of JB! In the 70's I was a party fool! LOL! Growing up on Long Island and going into NYC to party with my cousins and auntie's in the Bronx. My girlfriend of now 30 years, and I would buy the 45's and dance our assess off back then! My kids today know that their momma can still out dance anybody like back in the day!

[MrSimplepleasures]

i think you all miss what the hell bootsy collins is puttin down, he was reAL YOUNG at these recordings . That mofo was a bad ass playing fool. with his bro. catfish too. but the song was made because, at that time members of black organizations , were saying JB was not doing enough for the black community.. So James & company, put this out along with a few others that followed..

[IkeDyson71]

@MrSimplepleasures

Thanks for your comment. It's always easy for me to forget that Bootsy is even playing ON this track, as I first had it on the "There It Is" Lp that came out in 1972.

How do you like the ORIGINAL rock version of this?

[ytcomposer]

I might get a lot of flack for this, but why does JB get his just props for saying this stuff at 12:45, yet Bill Cosby gets trounced for essentially the same message? Am I missing something here? I mean, it's not hard to take Cos' message out of context, but it just sounds like the same thing to me.

[ytcomposer]

@ytcomposer: By the way, I love this song and the message, too. ^_^

[artytoons]

@ytcomposer James Brown says it with a catchy rhythm better.

JB sung loud and said something.

[3kingkool]

@ytcomposer It's the political climate.

[830jkl]

get off ya asses and jam!

[TheCarbonfiend]

1 person is clearly fakin the funk

[BeyondInfinit]

how come he aint ask Ron how it sound???

[IkeDyson71]

@BeyondInfinit

He must have forgotten on this take!

[HaliB75]

@BeyondInfinit Alternate take.



[IkeDyson71]

@HaliB75

No, it's the same take. Just some releases lob that intro off.

[HaliB75]

@IkeDyson71 You are right, because the vocal is identical.

[Thefunksoulbro]

make it funky

[sandralawson18]

I love all James Brown's songs, because if it's wasn't for him and the rest of old hard

core blues singers, these other today's singers of today, wouldn't made it without

James Brown and the old school Hard core blues singers.

[PaulDA2000]

I love the complete take especially at the end where he talks to Bobby Byrd about "marching, puttin' one hand up and the other in your pocket, get a job!" LOL!

It's funny, as big a hit that this was, I never heard it live in concert in all the 125 plus JB concerts except the very 1st one I went to in 1971 in New Haven, CT. I only vaguely remember it.

[IkeDyson71]

@PaulDA2000

I love this tune, but somehow I can't imagine it coming over very well in a concert performance...

[Buckeyecat2002]

@PaulDA2000 JB had over 800 songs. He was a singles artist. He often released songs that used studio only performers and never played these songs in concert.

[PaulDA2000]

@Buckeyecat2002 - That has nothing to do why he played or didn't play a song in concert. 'Talking Loud' was a number 1 r&b song, and should have become part of his concert for a while at least.
