James gets to do one of his signature songs, with cape and all. I don't think the song needed to be longer, but I can't say the same about James' pants...

  • Saw him live 45 years ago. Me and my friend skipped school and we were the only two white people in the audience. He did this song and we both cried. hahahah...hormones....we were 15. We didn't get caught either. Great memory. It was in Washington, D.C.

  • My parents had this single and the live at the Apollo record. I remember my dad drinking and putting on these records, and just looking like he was lost in the raw emotionality (is that even a word?) of JB's songs. It made quite an impression on me as a small kid.

  • wow wow wow wow I love this guy Soul to the purest wow dam he was great I am 62 now and still listen...peace larry

  • james he loved it ,thks MR BROWN

  • Audiences used to rachet as hell back then. they couldnt even get them to be quiet for 2 seconds lol

  • @misseraphimarose It's a very famous trademark routine. James would always drop to his knees in the middle of the performance as he became overwhelm with emotion/worked himself to exhaustion & the band member would come out to help him, put the cape on him & attempt to escort him off the stage. James would throw off the cape & come back to finish the set with x10 amount of energy. It was to rile up the crowd..

  • Can someone please explain the cloak and why one of his band members comes to his aid in the middle of the act? Why does he throw the cloak off?

  • In 2011 i'm listenin' to James Brown, Nina Simone, Ray Charles and Etta James...I dont know why, maybe because Music is dead?no?

  • @Moonchalice hahaha saw him 50 years ago same situation only white kids there and it was great, Watched him fall to the groung while they put his cape on. Jeez, was just so much fun..glad youhad a great time tool..
