One of the greatest, one of the most important tunes of the 20th century-its texture, succinct, virgin-tight arrangement, polyrhythm, a miniature masterpiece. Musicians, any genre, try and play this tune. James Brown was the essence, the nexus, the creative bluesjazzgospelfunkr&b melange. Nobody is in this category-its genius-its magic-its African.krxn11
Love the song, used to play it back in High School, Can't deal with the plaid jumpsuit with the leather sleeves though... LOL, fashion's back in the day, what were we thinkin'? One of the baddest funk breakdowns EVER! You know he was dancin' when he recorded this the way his vocal fades in and out during the breakdown... Dear Lord what a mighty time we lived in... when Giants walked the earth.
"Sometimes I roam.. but I'll be coming back home...
@TheWorfster I say the same thing about todays fashion, lol. It seems each year clothes become a thing of the past. Everyone wants to walk around almost naked nowadays! And let's not forget the overly tight jeans that some of these men wear. It looks like they wear their litte sister jeans. What are they thinkin'?
And I heard that the fading part was meant to be that way.
Awesome, much loved song since it first hit my ears. I like to quote the line "sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down", a philosophical saying of the late great James Brown.
The first time I heard this JB gem was in Aug 1966. I had just finished a band rehearsal and a fellow drummer friend of mine (David "Frenchy" Obrien) played this tune for me. I was hooked. I could not believe the tight funky drum track (let alone the guitar and horn riff) and have been a James Brown fan ever since ... I got the matha f'ing feelin'
@dh1173 oh yea i wish youtube wouldnt be a bitch and let part 3 of golden anniversary upload if you can find it please send my way as i will do the same i found 49th snagged it off youtube to ipod so i can watch anytime shortly after youtube took it down
Another #1 hit on the Rhythm & Blues charts for James Brown, who would become known as The Godfather of Soul. It was the 174th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #6 on the Top 40 charts.
There will always be poeple that "don't get it". I feel sorry for em. When it "hits" like Marley said "you feel no pain". This is sharp as a razor and funky as nine cans of shaving powder. Good God!
what happened with the good music?? man i hate those new so called "singers" they are shit they are fucking crap! our Kings has gone we miss James Brown, we miss you Michael Jackson... we miss you music
Do yourself a favor, and go get the original King 45 (King 6155). It was mixed in mono, and the sound will blow you away! Much more powerful than this stereo version; it puts a capitol F in FUNKY!
James Brown was the man. I really believe he invented modern dance music. His music is so godamn catchy. I listen too it as often as i can. time to GET THE FUNK OUT!!!!!!
Wooooo!!! Aaow! This just makes you wanna dance!! I feel the funk all through my body!!! Why cant other 16 yr olds listen to this?!?!? Its awesome!!! :D
Damn, EVERY damn instrument is perfectly completing the other.
The bass, the incredible Drums groove (thanks Clyde Stubblefield, listen to the drums rolls melting orgasmily into James voice every 4th measure and then land on the One), the guitar riffs, the horns.
When and Bill and Camille Cosby celebrate their golden anniversary in January 2014,I expect their 4 survivng children to perform this for them. Then Bill and Camille can receive tickets to concerts performed by their favorite jazz artists. Some of Bill's idols have passed away some time ago.
Slicktom(dot)com turned me on to all this funky shit hes an unemployed dj formally employed by 97rock in B-lo he funny crazy as hell man give this dude a listen slick tom is the greatest ps dont typ id the dot put wut u put at the end of a sentence.
damn,im barely 15 but my dad had the best of james brown.i listened to this track at 5,and danced like their was no tomorrow.still ma favorite! R.I.P JAMES BROWN
Really? McCain and Obama aren't better choices than GWB? The nice thing about America is that people can vote if they don't like it- so they don't have to kill themselves or "get the fuck out". Your attitude doesn't help anything.
The '85 episode entitled HAPPY ANNIVERSARY featured Ray Charles' recording NIGHT TIME IS THE RIGHT TIME. I GOT THE FEELIN' was from GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY,circa '86.
DAM!! is all I can say . . . and guhd-God! Funkin my a@# off. This is some serious stank. no wonder my grandma 'nem could eat this man and his music up.
damn everyone says 'the cosby show' when they hear this song. that show had such a huge impact on introducing music like soul and jazz to random people, its great.
Yeah!!! really FUNKY song...it's just James Brown :D i love so much this song...i would like to play it with my band...but i can't get every word and i can't find any lyric on internet...could anyone help me? PLEASE!!!
