*He Sure Made My Liver Quiver* James Brown "Soul Power" live in Kinshasa Zaire, 1974. | REACTION

[@PaulDA2000]

At the end he said “call some more blackness, not badness”. He was 41 years old here. I saw him over 100 times live in concert from 1971 until 2005. My all time favorite entertainer.

[@cmoney1629]

Wow,

[@The3Dsmash]

Over 100 times! Wow! I saw him once in the late 90s. I've never been more excited for a concert to start.

[@PaulDA2000]

@@The3Dsmash well the first time I went was 1971 and the last time I went was 2005. So that’s over 34 years so that averages out to about three a year.

[@SIR-DanielHunter]

HE IS NOT JUST THE GODFATHER OF SOUL. HE IS THE KING OF 'FUNK' HE WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO EVER USE THAT WORD TO DESCRIBE HIS MUSIC .AND THAT MAN HAD THE FUNK...he was also called the hardest working person in showbiz. love you fay.

[@bigpants6121]

I prefer watching his 60's video clips. His moves were outrageous!

[@kennycrockett8202]

Yes u is right, James Brown is the Godfather of Funk and Creator of Funk; R.I.P. : James Brown

[@medusabrown2125]

FUNK! IT'S THE STANK ON GOD'S FEET! JAMES BROWN'S FEET!!

[@IainTerry-v6r]

Isn't she just lovely??.

[@ebonylocks9234]

James Brown did a free concert when I was a kid. We all danced so hard we had Charlie horses in our legs all 10 of us.

[@Godlybuilding]

There are so many beautiful African women and you are clearly one of them! I gotta go to the motherland 😎

[@themajicman745]

Thank God for some soul music and a break from all that darn rock!!! This concert was done over in Africa in 1974.

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

Zaire! Ali-Foreman Rumble.. 🥊

[@Starr-d-v8x]

This is the man that Michael Jackson bow down to!! Michael was hypnotized by this man as a child, and studied every move he made, and the rest is history. Even the rappers stole so much of James Brown's music too. Hands down our number one musical GIANT.🌹

[@65cj55]

The Hardest Working Man in Show Business.

[@jamescraig6146]

Soul Brother Number 1!!! Mr Dynamite himself! Michael Jackson and Prince only imitators. You are looking at the original! Growing up we all wanted to be him. Everyone tried to do the James Brown.

[@TreyMessiah95]

They're not imitators lol

[@TreyMessiah95]

And if you wanna call james brown the originator sorry to break your heart but there title goes to Jackie Wilson

[@usertr13phinsup]

Gotta love JAMES BROWN. I think he was the coolest man to walk the earth since. JC. PEACE

[@rasmichael]

Say it loud! BTW, the studio version of "Cold Sweat" is even better. The bass-line on that is just mind-blowing.

[@medusabrown2125]

That baseline was definitely on the one!

[@kennycrockett8202]

The Godfather of Funk and Creator of Funk; James Brown= R.I.P.

[@scott3605]

James brown 🤎 that was Great! Thanks Fay. Lots of Music+Fay 🥰 is Good 4 The soul.

[@Kassiusday]

SAY IT LOUD !!!!!!!!

[@usertr13phinsup]

I do not understand how anyone could just not love his music. Me 65 old white man always we rocked to JB. PEACE TO ALL

[@no834]

I knew you'd love it . I did too. Love surprising you.

[@mikecaetano]

James Brown was the real deal -- an institution. The name of the opening song is "The Payback". As a matter of fact, I was just listening to it earlier today. The name of the song after he talks about the best of his work is "Cold Sweat" and here he plays the song almost twice as fast as it is on the record. The fade out song is called "Say it Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)" from 1968 and was famous for its affirmation. James Brown played that concert in association with the legendary boxing match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman that came to be called "The Rumble in The Jungle". Zaire doesn't exist anymore. It collapsed in the nineties in the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide. Kinshasa is now the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A few years ago I discovered a musical act from Kinsasha named Tshegue. The video for their song "The Wheel" follows a pack of kids on inline roller skates as they hitch rides from trucks on the highway at speed! Crazy stuff, but the music is highly infectious, simultaneously technological and primitive, with a driving beat that never stops. The video for their song "Muanapoto" tells the story of a teenage girl with a hearing disability who lives in the slums. At least that's what it seemed to me watching it. The song is not in English or French. At any rate, it's nice to think, even if it may not be true, that James Brown inspired that music too.

[@thedrummerking13]

James Brown invented Funk 👌 Also him and his drummer Clyde Stubblefield are kinda the godfathers of hip hop as the funky drummer by James Brown is most sampled beat used in hip hop

[@infdjdndjds372]

Not kinda but are the official blueprint of Hip Hop music, Back in the early 70's Bronx NYC, during the conception of Hip Hop James Brown was 65% of the music you'd hear at a strictly Hip Hop park jam, house party or club

[@town_biznessman380]

The Godfather of soul. R.I.P.

[@woelffer3854]

UNIQUE. Little man very big. Thanks to Fay. Have found his body in the meantime? This Video is great.

[@SeanGelarden]

Saw the GFOS four times, watch the movie When We Were Kings and the song I'm Black and I'm Proud

[@nozecone]

"Some more Black music!" is what I hear him saying .... This would be the concert where B. B. King said he got blown away by James Brown. You need to check out James Brown at the TAMI show, from maybe seven or eight years earlier - it'll knock you out of the ballpark!

[@PaulDA2000]

No he said “Cut off the lights and call some more blackness”.

[@nozecone]

@@PaulDA2000 Yeah, you're right ... !

[@MH-fb5kr]

The groove works EVERYWHERE!

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

2:01..He pioneered the sound that would be called Funk,--Godfather, indeed. Danny was J.B's emcee 25 years, was one of his backup singers from the early days. 3:20--That's Lola Love, with him from late 60's until 1979..The lady could flat-out-dance! I knew James would blow ya away..I've got the concert/fight video..The Spinners, Crusaders, B.B. King, Bill Withers all played great sets, too..The movie's called "When we were kings", Award-winning Documentary.

[@CobblerFarms]

Loved this video👌Greetings from Finland

[@MadAngel209]

This was a concert before The World Heavyweight Championship bout between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman.

[@markkimber7811]

hello I love your reaction and your smile and your spirit you're amazing

[@africareact]

Wow!!! am glad you love it, thank you

[@RushianRichard]

When funk gets this deep it rocks like nothing else and I'm a metal fan. 🤘

[@Chilipotamus]

I've been disillusioned with the modern wave of metal, which has driven me down a deep rabbit hole of funk. I think I'll stay here for a while

[@frenchresearcherfrantz4290]

...You're very welcome. Try P-Funk if you haven't yet....

[@noneofyourbusiness4552]

You dig what you see. One of America's best performers. America's Best. There are many others.

[@denisetinto1828]

🇨🇦🔥🔥🔥🥇💯🌟🤗💖You must also watch Wilson Pickett in concert in Africa during the 60's doing Land of a Thousand Dances. It is like this video, totally exciting and mind blowing. Cheers

[@hb120877]

That concert took place just before the boxing match between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali.... "The Rumble in The Jungle"... Promoter Don King....

[@normiewoo787]

I dig James Brown's studio version of "Soul Power." The Smashing Pumpkins' cover is great as well.

[@jamesgraham3116]

There's an entire film about this concert.

[@antoniowyckoff2]

It seems like the stage should have caught on fire, literally after The big payback! 💥🔥Blue flames and all!

[@hpb5495]

The baddest cat of them all, y'all..

[@zaylether]

My grandma used to work for him

[@jonp4846]

Check out what he did during a concert in Boston in 1968. It was the day after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. I'll let you discover the rest. Peace!

[@delmontegreenbeans]

That Funk

[@bartstarr100]

I don't remember James with a stache. Barbershop quartet variety too.

[@PaulDA2000]

He had a mustache from early 1974 until 1978.

[@bartleyjackson2993]

Luciano, I love your reaction you have a incredible vibe, sexy voice, and your beautiful. Thank You

[@KenJuKai1]

You should do a cartoon if that is your real voice. But keep up the great work.

[@larryherbert252]

SUPERBAD James Brown, there are times when singers come along, bands, friends etc There will never be another like them, There will never be another James Brown, he blazed the trail of music but just a entertainer but for social justice, making people aware of the wrongs in society. Say it Loud, l Don't Want Nobody To Give Me Nothing etc Again, never another like James Brown, The GFOS I liked your reaction to seeing JB

[@charlesbrown1542]
