  • I saw this on VH-1 Classic. A great documentary. Brings back a lot of memories, good and bad. Boston has always been a racial powderkeg, had been since the days of Sacco and Vanzetti. Then along comes James Brown who did that televised concert on WGBH after Martin Luther King was murdered and the city was spared from impending doom.

    By the way, the narration was done by Dennis Haysbert---The President from '24'!

  • @IkeDyson He deserved more than that! He saved Boston's ass that night after MLK was murdered! JB had to pay his band, pay for is plane and other expenses as well. JB dropped out of school and went to prison. He had a talent and he used it to make himself rich but he could sing and he could dance. He was exceptional at what he did. No one could do like JB!

  • why don't the city of Boston erect a james brown's statue, he saved their asses

  • james brown is earths greaatest angel....... so powerful.....

  • If you want a world full of ugly people breed with your own race, If you want a world full of beautiful people you gotta mix eg, Linda Carter who played wonder woman is half mexican brown and white scottish. Many white super models are mongrels eg Christy Turlington is half peruvian brown and half white english. Mariah Careh is half black half white, In fact nearly 100% of all white people are mixed with black, asian, arab, latina blood but they just look white damn! ha ha ha

  • Thank you so much for uploading this.

  • @IkeDyson

    you're talking about pay. marquettefootball is talking about payback - no connection. i think there was a misunderstanding here.
