  • 0:36 slompppinnnn... paaaa.... tschikhe... tschickkk...

  • this is mike brigham-conga's-jamie brantley-guitar,from augusta ga,,,just did a reunion concert 11/17/2011@sky city,,BUFORD,,after 31 years.sounded better than ever,,,!!!

  • this two microphone is uher?

    stereo vocal recording?

  • amazing thank you

  • who fucking disliked this?

  • Watch this vid. Everyday 4 inspiration RIP Godfather!

  • I would love to see a real in-depth piece about his process for producing tunes and his work in the studio.

  • Thanks for uploading this pearl PrinceAkeen !

    Like most fellows here, I don't know the name of this (Fantastic-Funky-Groovy &co) song!...? Anyway, This video shows the other side of an outstanding singer ... few people know about James talent as a multi-instrument player...he's paying attention to every single bit /chord &co - even having a bad signal from the headphones! What a GENIUOS indeed!

  • Wow!  James looks so alive in this video! Not like now . . . .

  • This is amazing footage:-) ~Unyque Dreamz

  • 1:25 James invents porn music!

  • Jesus those drums sound beautiful even through the camera mic. It just goes to show you don't get a sound like that from skilled engineering (although that helps) but through the virtue of having the best fucking drummer in the world.

  • Way too funky!!! Love it!!!

  • 0:37 That's that Snapshokumpow-tikitiki!!! LOL!

  • This is a piece of music history, I wish there was a compiled collection of JB's out takes. Just to hear him working with his band is amazing with that pure unrestrained talent. Who knows the title of the song?

  • I think it's his best album of the '70s - Mutha's Nature.

  • "They playin' it but it's not comin' out". Damn certainely, 'cause you need Clyde Stubblefield and Catfish Collins do make it come out, Godfather !

  • @shishyupal thank you ,tell the tomthe funky nothing ,that

  • "lawd have mercy" That's good funk. Yall hear that bass player? lol holy christ.

    They don't make music like this anymore. James combined masculinity, sexuality, perfection, music, and made them his bitch. R.I.P. godfather.

  • kewl

  • incredible video, James at work, like if we were in the studio.

  • What's the name of this track? It must be from his post-JB's era in the mid-late 70s. This is an underrated period for him; he had some great tracks during that period that don't get nearly the credit they deserve.

  • was this in 1974 1975 1979

  • 1:10 is the look of determination!

  • I like the rap at the end....

    Hey! I hate to tell you this, but you just aint funky until you buy....

  • No one touches JB. He levitates over all of us.

  • the band sucks....no wonder james is lookin for the funk....the band must be named BLAH BLAH BLAH.lmao

  • @mastertung7: The band sucks? No, the band doesn't suck. The problem is that you are a complete idiot. The guitarist is Dave Spinozza. He's one of the most successful session guitarists in the world and he played on some of James' best songs in the 70's. Oh, and did it occur to you that the reason it may not be perfect is because they are working the song out, you dummy?

  • @tomthefunky i said......the band sucks.and i say it again,and give a damm,what his name is,.you can have skill,for many things,but ....in music its about feel,.you fool,.feel.and what you play from the heart,but obviously you dont have one,...you idiot.you know who u are....and the dummy is yourself,...james says it all, he knows ,you have to be born funky,.something u dont know jack about...and u may wanna start some lessons............

  • @mastertung7: Fool, that's the same band on most of his 70's albums. Shit, you are stupid!! I mean, you are little yellow bus stupid. You also write like a third grader, you illiterate cunt.

  • @tomthefunky the cunt and illeterate gotta be yourself, you gotta have one i guess and use it for profit,.......or what,.?who wrote your comments, are they getting paid too?

  • Comment removed

  • @tomthefunky lmao lmao ttm, tammy who took your crayons, hunh? did you tell the teacher?why did you put the 1 before the zeros? you know tammy thats what u meant,who gives a hoot how much songs you try to play on your fisher price special? who? i heard eddie murphy was looking for you, you may need that fisher price 2 string special if you get a gig with eddie,are there any left tammy?

  • FunkMaster #1

    James Is The Man.

  • TOO TOUGH - Damn wish he could have had the REAL JB's!!!! He has heard and forgotton more funk than any man alive!

  • It's Not the JB's, It's the May-Bees. These must be musicians that played "Give Me Some Skin," in 1977 on the "Mutha's Nature" LP.

  • awwhh yeah the raw making!! I love these studio sessions. Real sessions.

  • yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh­h!

    GODFATHER OF SOUL!

  • He is looking for the funk, where is his funk...LOL The funkiest man to ever do it

  • Great video!! I wish I had a chance to play with him!!

  • Oh

    My

    Good God!

  • This clip is from the video documentary "Soul Brother Number One", put together in 1977.

  • 2:55 "They couldn't do it by themselves in 20 yrs what I can do in 40 min."... I Love it.

  • "They playing it but its not coming out"...lol!

  • Yes this is genius. This clip is with analyzing a great footnote.

  • The Master @ work!!!!!!!!

    you bes believe when he tell you he can produce in 40 min.. his own sound with anybody's band.. from what could take someone else 10 yrs with their own band......... the man was not lyin'...... Mastermind!!!!!!!!!

  • This song isn't on that album but he does mention 'Summertime' and 'Have A Happy Day' so who knows, it could be an out-take.
