LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE GODFATHER OF SOUL... MR JAMES BROWN!!!

Man, I remember when this aired in 77... I was like 9 years old! I remember me and my buddy Joe jumping on his mothers couches when this was on... we were jumping from one couch to the other... with the beat! We had the TV cranked so loud! It was insane!

THANK YOU DRIFTBOLT for posting this happy memory for me!

I've seen this soooooooooooo many times with crowds and many different black bands.......the groove overwhelms the racists, and they dont know how to react...like, "Yaa, they're gonna suck a**....n********".......*music plays*......."S***!.......", they think to themselves...haha

@mixedbreed19: This was a TV show dumbass, the crowd isn't moving around because they're filming it.

[mixedbreed19]

@PooPoo2U wow...I did not type that original comment...wtf? I dont even talk like that :O  my bad??
