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.

@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?
