James Brown "God Father of Soul" Rare Footage!

[lester5192]

Its godfather of funk more like. His hits were funky.

[phillydisco]

Love the godfather's style, but here he looks a little like the sketch of the Unabomber at the beginning. ;)

[kimchastain]

I believe this show was done in the Peach Tree Plaza Hotel Ballroom as one of the early WTCG late TBS TNN etc and the news was really done in the basement storage room!!!

[mxriderHassy]

This is God.

[Dazzer1234567]

some of JB's best music was from the mid-seventies......not really his well known period. This is a great track, has some disco vibe, also check out the album "Hell" and the long "Rapp Payback", one of his last great tracks

[TheChanning62]

James Brown had his own dance tv program show called Future Shock. One of the first artist to perform on stage in a hoodie.

0:11- James Brown looks like a sex dance show cult leader with the hoodie, shades and no shirt.

[AlovesMJ]

@Buckeyecat2002  lol!

[azdarryl42]

We really didn't need to see this..This is not the real James Brown. Thank god he won't be remembered for this performance.. Whew brutal!

[cammicty]

@azdarryl42 Just shows how versatile he was! The beginning of Disco! He was not doing his normail dance routines. Nice to see the change!

[bighead6683]

wot is the name of this song lovin it

[2010moonbaby]

13berza: Just ta break it down to ya...Everything he did was straight disco, I don't suppose you get my meaning. But to be more literal he invented the disco sound, the rap sound, he was IT. The man. He was at his best in the 70's.

[13berza]

not realy his groove, he is just trying to get with the disco sound of the later 70-es.

[millsbrothers]

[educkerwebdesign]

what is the the name of the song?

[Buckeyecat2002]

Only G rated Black porn show on TV. Notice that all the bloods have no shirts on.

[hmsheppard]

Buckeyecat2002: Great call! It looked like JB was kinda going through a middle-age crisis during this time of his life; he was looking kinda crackish here, instead of his normal elegant self. Hell, I think I even spotted Goldie and Dolemite in the background...

[katmusic2006]

i have NEVER seen jb wear a hoodie before!! wow. and the song ain't bad either.

[Blueupsi3]

James working it.

[Dom44300]

C top j'adooooooooore.

[oldschoolsituationz]

mike and every lil black boy growing up in the sixties james brown was god in those days. i think more little boys admired him that girls. you werent cool if you couldnt do the james brown (hucklebukk). i remember from 64 or 65 onward watching him on the tube dancing along with him and trying to get those feet moves down. luckily like mike my folks are from the south (my father knew brown when he baled cotton to supplement his gigs) there were plenty old folks who knew how to hucklebukk too.

[theoneandthree]

I remember this show james use to get down on this show..... fast foot work I hope ted turner bring out a official Future shock DVD. JAMES BROWN The greatest entertainer in the world.
