Great song & video. I like the tribute to the late, great Wes Montgomery who had died of a heart attack three years earlier aged only 45 and then the guitarist plays a few of Wes's licks, top stuff James B.
@weihnachten000 lol dude iam cracking up, cause a buddy of mine did the same on the pole, at brothel, but with other music, the owner was ROFL... XD

I was in jail the night James Brown died....shaking my pan...pan down baby. Count the booty and lights out....Rccc ain't 'nothin but a party ya' all...twentty---four...seven....
I can't stop playing this vid. OMG it's just mesmerizing. James Brown has officially replaced St. Nick on the 25th, of Dec. Aint it Funky Now! R I P JB
Where have these good old days of music vanished??..seriously, man..new school is complete bad, whack and snobbish..R.I.P "Sir James Brown"..We(i.e. all your fans) miss you a lot..:)
@simonbnyc Well no Bootsy....but dreadful? Man that's harsh for something so extraordinary.Hey, James always has mechanical guitar players...rhythm guitar players that don't really solo.....they're scared to death. Every clam is a fine after all....but I love the tribute to Wes. And this is FUNKY
I bet theve been earning a hell lot of money for what a black musician could earn with his music. But do you recognize, how allert everyone is? Almost frightfully watching the master. He was a very strikt bandleader, as I heard. For example one had to pay fines for musical mistakes when playing a show. Or leaving the tour bus without a suit, that was 5$.
@MrEdogg2010 Oh you can bet it was. I was just a kid but I remember how James Brown blew people away back then, sorta like Jimi Hendrix. Every once and a while a performer comes along who leaves everyone with their mouths hanging open. Greatness...
ah sooki, sooki, James Brown created more than soul music, he created a world class culture. Everywhere you look you can see the mark he left in our society...music, dance, fashions, etc.. He was a creator....
This goes to show you the hard work and discipline James Brown and his band put into his performances. His best live performances sound BETTER than his studio recordings. How many artists, especially modern artists, sound like complete and total ass live? The man put everything he had into his performances and by doing so made them immortal. This 40 year old performance is fresher than practically anything today.
Before synthetic rhythm generators, the beat came from the soul, in this case, on the downbeat. Today's music does not come close. James Brown was a percussion instrument with laser-perfect timing. The real thing.
@LSMFTbitch -Fred Wesley is a long time James Brown composer, band director, trombone/trumpet, and jazz performer. He is responsible for many of JB's hits. He has two brothers who are also horn players.
My good taste brought me here.
