I'll tell you what, I grew up with James Brown, & the first time I saw Janelle Monáe perform, "Tightrope" (at the White House for the Obamas), I thought holy cow, she is the female rendition of Brown. She set the stage on fire. She even sent one of her earrings flying into the audience. POTUS Obama told her where it landed after her set was finished. If you haven't seen that particular performance by Janelle Monáe, please watch it. She was jaw-dropping, in the same exact way that James Brown was jaw-dropping. They both have 'IT'.

@@landztranzHe sold many records to anyone but white people, which Carson's studio audiences were full of. They stopped giving him airplay after Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud in 68. James has one of the most storied lives and careers of all time and Carson is struggling to find conversation topics while the audience was only politely enthusiastic.
@dovlandzbaum50362 ай бұрын
@VinVonVoom I don't know about no more airplay after Say It Loud, but I disagree that the audience was just "politely enthusiastic." They were satisfactorily responsive, in my opinion. And I don't think Johnny wasn't struggling to talk to him. Bottom line for me: I grew up on fantastic performers such as Mr. Brown, loved him, I'm white, and I'm sure a huge number of whites were fans of his as well. And why wouldn't they be? He was brilliant. And of course we all know that Sammy Davis, Jr., for example, was extremely popular nationwide.
