Deuteronomy 28:29 “And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.” Nice moves but only the Saviour Yahawah bahasham Yahawashi can deliver us. Let’s get real people. Leviticus 20:26 “And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.” Deuteronomy 32:8 “When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.” Deuteronomy 32:9 “For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.” Exodus 4:22 “And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:” Exodus 4:23 “And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.”

Just stating the known facts but James Brown was an innovator of dance, rythym, music, a fantastic drummer and organist, and what a voice, he even invented funk, he was a unique one off genius and you can't blame other artists that follow for trying to copy him, I think that happens with every art, then maybe one day the copyer shows up with their own style, but it's not everyone that can be an inventor. I'm an old guy who lives in Scotland, and I'm still listening to James Brown for inspiration, humanity, and beauty of the human spirit, the coolest singer and musician ever, we'll probably never see his likes again, in my humble opinion.

[@josephmackin1491]

Seeing the two of them brings back memories right along with the tears. All of the beautiful memories of time goes bye.

[@natnat3995]

How did I coke across something so legendary omg . I was smiling the entire time wow they was having so much fun 😂

[@PlanetRockJesus]

"You know somethin', baby... you look like me." HA!

[@JoyHarrison]

Sammy was hilarious. James looked better with that haircut than with the permed hair.

[@PlanetRockJesus]

Sammy and the rest of the Rat Pack were really of my parents' generation, but I saw them on TV a lot as a kid, and I loved all of them. Talented bunch. I watched a great documentary on Sammy on KZbin. Amazing life. Oh, and I agree on the hair. It wasn't him. He was trying to be "hip," but he was already cool as he was. He couldn't be a hippie!

[@Conmezzo]

This is pure gold. The joy, talent, skill and rapport- installation there. Rest in Peace and Power.
