James Brown - Sunny ( Live in Paris )

[poneydj23]

james brown ai nimik pe langa canaf

[StotheUBeats]

@poneydj23 numai vorbi prostii

[madthijs79]

i want some coc to

[tyojuicyvip]

amandoi ciudati(canaf si james) dar amandoi fenomenali:X:*....dar tot mai tare a fost CANAF:X

[rdgfx3]

I like the part where he talks, sings and dances.

[ramsisblade]

A cantat mai bine CANAF melodia decat James Brown.Iulian Canaf chiar ca = Vocea Romaniei

[1978MCP]

@ramsisblade Canaf are Soarta... Si soarta lui a fost Lori, care i-a pus pe tava niste cantece fenomenale, carora Canaf le-a dat o amprenta personala speciala. E un show-man, un personaj la care as merge cu drag la un concert... Si asta nu mi s-a mai intamplat cam de mult...

[iordanstefan1]

CANAF

[Konstance001]

@iordanstefan1 CANAF = VOCEA ROMANIEI!

[1978MCP]

@Konstance001 Nu stiu daca el e Vocea... Dar e cu siguranta un show-man, si e cam singurul din concurs.

[1978MCP]

@iordanstefan1

Desigur, comparatia cu James Brown a fost fortata... Dar Canaf i-a dat si ceva din stilul lui, si n-a fost rau deloc... l-am revazut de vreo 20 de ori azi, si a meritat. Meserias menestrelul nostru...

[tookes9]

Just watch Unsung and all this time the bass player i admired on this video is actually Bootsy Collins !!

[sdeanmusic]

The best live act ever!

[Husidubinski]

Nah, hes a Funky Karate Master ;)

[WESSYS]

The Way he moves Fuck Karate Masters!!!!LOL HAHAHA:-)

[jangelcastro109764]

toda la cancion (vocalmente) fue diferente, eso es matizar una cancion, los vocalistas de hoy no tienen eso aun cuando son sus propias canciones no son capaces de hacer suyas esas canciones. pregunta es mi imaginacion o creo haber visto unos pasos de michael jackson en el min 1.46. james brown es uno de los grandes iconos de la musica, es a estos, a los que hay que aprendenderle.

[funkyflautist]

time to remind folks....

[theboyandhiswand]

YESS sunny days are tHe BeSt !!

[Moorparkrules]

I LOVE this song for 2 reasons, Its Amazing! and My name is Sunny. :D

[domingus69]

BOOTSY!

[gfks11]

I LOVE THIS VERSION TOO!!!

[nailah4200]

James Brown. OOOOOOOOOOOOH WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

The real dancing machine. Sorry MJ. 

[monkeyedge1]

Hell man! Hell yes!

[TheAlphafly]

1:43 This the precise moment where Michael Jackson took his famous dance move and build all his career with it!

[newsfromthestars]

I prefer the version RON CARTER & BOBBY HEBB. But I like also like the punk rock version of James Brown. it makes me think a version of Nina Hagen My way =)) James Brown Great Man ! =))

[MrNodzilla]

Although a really good version i don't think the tempo does the song justice,but at least he tried and was successful in creating something away from the norm!

[guyfawkesistaken]

DOLEMITE MOTHERFUCKER.

[hwilsonv]

increible, impresionante, puro power

[ThekickAssBeats]

The band is so tight!!!! It's incredible! :D:D

[freshgoodies]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN ! Black MUSIC is the best !

[danitza83]

The only one who put the emotion in this song

[scat4u]

@danitza83 you don't think stevie did??

[beatz04]

Probably the best performance of anything that has ever be performed anywhere.

[jyougi35take]

too funky!

[sweetlove1171]

Mr. James Brown.... R.I.P

He is still well missed :(

[MsBbyI]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!! His moves are legendary

[bohemianspiritmn]

There will always and ever be only one James Brown. GOOD GOD! :-D

[braunarsch]

fuckin love this man! the king!

[Silverstein1883]

A great song arranged by a great one

[purpleandhotpink]

i think he had a wedgie there

morningchaps

[FRAJAHEHI]

atg 1:34 i thought he was gonna fall on his back, but instead he went apeshit dancing with the power of funk.....and this doesn't even make any sense

[Dayga]

No disrespect to MJ, but on his best day he couldn't carry JB's baggage. The Godfather of Soul!!

[Gil1976]

another JB masterclass

[SuperSukme]

god damn he dance! I stopped everything i was doing when I saw it. That's where Micheal got those moves from.... DAMN!

[musicofthesoul85]

that S.O.B caould dance his ass off!

[sonnyfrancis58]

Good God....



[DrKnows721]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the one and only Mr. James Brown . . . . . . and yes that's Bootsy baby . . . . did anybody else notice that this band is so tight that its damn near waterproof . . . . R.I.P. Mr.Brown , I know that heaven is funkier now that you're there

[mattmit]

is that bootsy collins?

[MGmerry]

antes como las mujeres se volvían LOCAS por esa forma de bailar de una persona

[babygenius7]

My fav version!!!!

[DYNODRUM]

Much "Respect" To this Man ,who started things, Only He could Finish.. Love, Prince and M.J. -but, He was The Supreme . Saw him ,around, 99'/2000 One of His Last Shows .He still had it .God Bless , the Great Music and what He gave of Himself ...

[muschettmusic]

LEGEND!!!! ONE OF A KIND. THIS IS EDUCATION!

[muschettmusic]

LEGEND!!!!

[thedragonb]

My god. James was the f'n BOMB! No one can touch him. Prince came close.. but not the energy James Brown possessed! Daaaaaamn!

[sargeanthulka]

The best single live performance I've ever seen... this is just absolutely incredible.

[Slabbers]

@sargeanthulka Holy @!!@! That is some serious, unimpeachable juice no doubt - but I hope you're getting out there and checking out some best-in-the-flesh-live music still babe! Jonelle Monae for example... Absolutely no disrespect to Mr Brown of course; his spirit lives on - and grows and changes... But he still reigns.

[MyRocketer]

lady gaga the devil witch of darkness should be banished from this world to give us lightness

[MercuryWahWah]

He must have just got done doin' a LINE.

[hugaadro]

jajajajajjajaja

[funkyflautist]

posted on this before a few months back, but omfg it just is THE BEST

[Scorpio30XL]

Love this! Can't top this Funkmastership! 50% of the time you couldn't understand what the *bleep* the man was singing or saying, for that matter. But who the hell cares; the man could move his feet and bring the funk like nobody's business!

R.I.P. J.B.

[bond00777777]

the great the King of Soul

[bond00777777]

the great

[MrAnthonyVance]

Now you know why we gave him the title ... Father of Sou! Sometimes all you can say is ... Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[mistara1]

This is the real drum 'n' bass :)

[mamika93]

MAGNIFIQUE MERCI ;)

[dpkehoe]

[KeatonNixon]

la sinta se sobrecarga ...........yo solo con verlo ............me dio ganas de bailar waoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooo.......­....james brownnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnn.....haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaa



[noahcism]

Woah. I was not expecting that level of amazingness

[mardenhill]

3 people never saw a ray of sunshine in their life.

[Superphilipp]

Dance Motherfucker!

[morningchaps]

Swear to Christ, if I could dance like James does between 1:35 & 2:05, it would be my standard form of locomotion. I wouldn't stop for anything - not a red light, not a policeman & certainly not to give you the time of day! I'm dancing like James Brown, dammit - I'm on a different level to you!

[pickinstone]

@morningchaps can I quote you on that? Hilariously perfect description of JB. I have a mental picture of you getting a ticket from a JAMF cop and telling him, "but sir, I can't stop for anything cause I got that James Brown locomotion so bad that it hurts". Then they'd send you to the head doctor and he'd proscribe you some Kenny G to fit you back into society.

[lonlywolfish]

@pickinstone  Kenny G is the system, James Brown is the revolution and freedom !

[75mpp]

@morningchaps Comical!!!! I hear ya!!!!!

[Aloebunny]

@morningchaps "I wouldn't stop for anything - not a red light, not a policeman & certainly not to give you the time of day." Best comment ever!!!!!!!!!

[lonlywolfish]

@morningchaps I would pee everywhere I go !

[pliskenlee]

@morningchaps

look at James Brown gives you dancing lessons it's a fucking belter I nearly broke my knee caps doing the 'drop'

[eritreangurrl]

I would give anything to be at a James Brown concert. Especially at this time!

[ysf88888888]

i like-- live

[gf3tw]

he overloaded the tape with his almighty dancing fury at 3:30

[braunarsch]

@gf3tw lolz!

[Hao06]

Funky!!

[trhnpc]

Wow, this was so unreal! Such a cool voice...

Anyway, I made a cover of this today and it sucks comparing to this, but I would appreciate it anyone would come to my channel and watch it :)

[Gxxlodovec]

Anyone have an audio recording of this?

[ganjalistic]

Its amazing what they can do these days in the studios, make any mediocre voice sound the part, but if you ask me, they dont even come close to Mr. B singing live! I'm only 24 but I really feel i've witnessed the end of true quality material coming from the music industry, maybe i'm lucky to witness such a milestone that will go down in history, but I still have many more years to come and theres only so far back in history im prepared to go in search of good music! Rant over...

[funkyflautist]

can't stop watching this,well beyond awesome omg...

[mrsoulsang]

This was crazy!! Wow! I may never sing again!

[camry009]

I don't listen to Lady Gaga really but I have respect for her talent. She has her quirks and all that but really I think she does have substance. This is just from a distance though maybe one day I'll listen to her act. I just don't see the point in randomly putting her down on a James Brown Vid.

Anyway when I saw this vid a few years ago I couldn't get it on my mp3 fast enough. Love the bridge and trombone solo.

[texasjohnnyboy]

The only thing that can describe this is Super Bad, Gravity, Soul Power! . What a huge sound this band has, what a groove and an artist and front man that cannot be imitated. I love the overtones on his voice... This cat goes unequaled!

[ITheCorruptI]

pornös

[blaqmarc]

I get chills when he screams at the end of the song, you can feeeel his soul pouring through you. That's what I want from an artist, your true self not a carboncopy.

[AGMG1974]

Muito bom.

O problema é que a música acabou e ele continuou cantando...

[johnnyjavelina]

The man has, shall we say, talent!

[susansname]

A great tribute to Bobby Hebb.

[alejomontalvo]

wow...

[reeblite]

seruiys groove, you're so wrong comparing apples and oranges. she's a performance artist, writes her own songs, see her show and you'll take it back. she's not a blues performer. she's more like billy joel, elton john type. her range as an artist isn't exclusive to pop music, that's just her venue to get famous and make money. the girl has range. listen to her gershwin tune, someone to watch over me from today show clip. oh yeah, saw him live and he was great also.

[1977camaro]

do you all see bootsy getting down!!!!! classic

[stelladiberlino]

nicest "sunny" i have ever heard

[dnsrmr]

Why do people keep knocking each other, like Michael Jackson? Sure he learned many of his dance moves from famous James Brown, but so what! He learned from a wonderful mentor. I wish I could dance like either of them,and sing like them too. God gives something to each of us. Let's give thanks, not be critical.

[sunstress8]

I was named after this song!!!...what a performance!!!

[diegoalanzabes]

Ahora se de donde se copiaron Jamiro Quai y Michael Jackson los bailes... James Brown les dejó el legado... Que tio!!!! Increible!!! Ya quisiera yo haber estado en ese concierto...OJÜ!

[mehendil]

Man, Bootsy's on fire!!

[CloneShadow]

every version of sunny, will never reach his great version. I'm sure Bobby Hebb thinks the same way, I do^^

Love you James R.I.P

[MrstheUnknown]

what's the name of the song that starts at 4:09?

[Zebrazzz1982]

Вот откуда Майкл Джексон набрался движений :)

[dojufitz]

James had a good tune to work with here....

[Dknuckles100]

I saw him on his 70th b day in Battery park NYC and he was still bustin it out.The one and only,never be another, que en paz descanse JB. Gaga aint shit

[ziadvonq8]

King of soul.

RIP

[HMGJonRP]

Lady Gaga is talented

this is the greatest on-stage musical performance of all time

[Gigivaldes]

Wow, amazing, great James Brown!!!!

[danielibarbu]

Es imposible no emocionarse escuchando esta increible versión

[samsuzza]

You just gotta love that......no need for analysis, debate or dissection..... that is simply one awesome performance.

[gatitaceci1479]

no me gusta, me encantaaaa!!!!! la mejor cancion y claro el mejor !!!! James Brown. Para ti Ismael te amo.

[icurun]

there are no more like this. this was the last of this kind. very few deserve respect. Shannon is one.

[no1tlfan]

Sensational!! Extraordinary!! What a performance!!. Nothing contemporary even comes close to this. genius!! JB was the originator of every dance move used by MJ, Usher, etc. Thanks so much for posting.

[jwj23]

Happy birthday, brother.

[yingtone]

That man can dance!

[TheDonthafunk]

thats so fuckin groooooooooooooovy

[balukaaaa91]

is it me or later as the song goes, he yells SONIC instead of SUNNY?

[leftijazz]

what a performance you can't fault james brown! The guy can realy sing dance and will be a legend forever. wish i could of seen him live

[juanmagon]

Dios era negro e iba peinado a lo afro!!

[FunkYouIsrael]

WHO KNOWS WHERE CAN I GET A STUDIO VERSION OF THIS AMAZING ARRANGEMENT?

i tried and all i founded is a remix by jb funkmaster or something like this..

thanks!!

[WuzzerMcFuzzer]

@FunkYouIsrael I'm quite sure a studio version of this particular arrangement of Sunny does not exist. But how could a studio version ever top this magnificent performance anyway? Rest in peace Brother Brown, bust those moves for them up there!

[kotek656456]

Sunny one so true, I love U ...........

[j1dub1976]

That was electric and probaly some of the flyest shit i have ever seen!!!!...Dam James could move that ass.

[superdrum3]

The baddest MF of all time!!!!!!!

[AlexAndrin]

0.42 his voice while starting singing...

[PaulDA2000]

@AlexAndrin - What does that mean 'his voice while starting singing'?

[sparks199]

I think he's just noting how good he sounds

[valentynesuite]

marvellooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooussssssssssssssssssss

[TheWarRoomInc]

James Brown was certainly the groove-master and Godfather of Soul, but how we forget that he could REALLY SING!!!

[aart303]

a bout Lady Gaga @ serious grooove ....you bet ur right in ur comment , she's just an irri mini tiny firecracker , compared with Mr. Dynamite!!! lol

[lhamilton020]

@aart303 i agree with you guys Lady Ga ga suxs... she copies off of Kelis... everybody acting like her ish' is new....

[seriousgroove]

Lady Gaga, you peace of crap. Watch Gods incarnation of groove, bow down to Sir unbeatable electrifying unreachable Mr. James Brown and repent you no good for nothing iluminati bitch.

[chiknfulio]

I do hope you realize that it is all an act that is poking fun at mainstream music. Lady Gaga is her character Stefani Germanotta has written for many respected artists and is a great musician in her own right

[mees04101993]

@seriousgroove it's *piece .. peace means "no war"

[Sella420]

@seriousgroove Haha awesome. nice comment

[OropherThranduil]

@seriousgroove

he owns everyone onstage, and especially he owns MJ, that fag couldn't invent a thing by himself, had dance coachs for every move while james has tihs naturally.

[amsterdamgirl]

@OropherThranduil

MJ learned from James Brown, but he also created hiw own moves. James Brown himself complimented MJ for surpassing him.

[OropherThranduil]

@amsterdamgirl

no, michael had his dance trainers who also invented the moonwalk for him, he hasn't even created his own signature move, that sucks-

[Fl0Vid]

@OropherThranduil If that's true, I wonder why so many people still love MJ

[OropherThranduil]

@Fl0Vid

because he had good dance trainers, good songwriters, good session musicians and was completely hyped, and the dawn of MTV also did it's share to make him a lot bigger than he ever deserved it.

[Fl0Vid]

@OropherThranduil Yeah, maybe you're right. Watch the last 7 seconds of this video clip: watch?v=2VbPd2iu4bg. Bill Bailey dances the moonwalk when MJ wasn't even born (MJ was born in 1958, this video is from 1955). If you read Wikipedia they confirm what I said.

[OropherThranduil]

@Fl0Vid

even mike love of the beach boys did some moonwalking in 63/64.

watch surfin usa live and you'll see it at the end.

[durgaaa]

@seriousgroove --unfortunately, Gaga is worth millions of dollars now, and at age 24 years. Kinda makes you wonder if you could have done the same. Her money represents the demographic huge populations of humans who will pay money for her vapid music. Generally unexperienced kids under 25. What can we do if the masses will pay money for something we think is trash ?

[durgaaa]

@suispasla --you need to read it again and have an educated friend explain it to you.

[muzaaaa]

@durgaaa So true mate, have been waiting for someone to recognize the real problem amongst all the Gaga flaming. She is probably having the time of her life and will have earnt more money than most of us will in a lifetime, so good luck to her. The only thing you can have a go it is the people who support her, which evidently are the vast majority. Oh ah JB rocks, what a mindblowing song. I listen to this version on a regular basis.

[holidayp08]

@seriousgroove WORD IM WIT U MY MAN!! FOH LADY GA-RBAGE LOL!!!!

[DancingBProductions]

@seriousgroove not to mention justing bieber

[13berza]

There can never be as good version as this of Sunny

[smp12]

Timeless music...

[teemuselanne]
