WORD!!!

[@vaughnchauncy8360]

I had never seen nor heard of JB until I saw the Tami show..I was like 7 or 8..that performance really put him on the map per se

[@Oleskool1956]

JB was on "the map" a way! long time before that 😉..

[@RepentingMan]

...and the next best performance after that is on the Ed Sullivan Show, May 1966.

[@RepentingMan]

@@Oleskool1956 True, but the TAMI Show brought him to a wider audience and was his next milestone after the "Apollo" album.

[@shaneinaz00]

Thank you for these 🙏😊❤️

[@williamg2552]

He forgot his FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT NICKNAME… “MR. DYNAMITE !!”

[@RepentingMan]

No, before that was "The hardest working man in showbusiness."

[@noelalam9731]

what an incredible interview thanks to a wonderful guest and a spectacular interviewer.

[@solarczyk49]

4:38 Those were beautiful years. Nice to reminisce.

[@jamesstokes867]

Wow this man was so wise😮

[@Oleskool1956]

They don't make men like JB any more 😕

[@mindyc6239]

They don't!

[@bennyjames558]

It aint that dont make man like james brown they cant make man like James brown!

[@PlayNiceFolks]

... probably for the best...given all the violence of a domestic nature...

[@rodneywilliams1316]

Yes they really dont

[@user-rh9su9cr4d]

I'm sad 😢because I wish all these cool artists were able to b alive

[@roysnell8319]

Wow!! James Brown’s speaking voice sounds a lot different from his singing voice, but I still love it all the same!!

[@johnnybraxton5539]

Im glad james brown didn't hate hip hop and allowed rappers to sample

[@timckauger5951]

In facts he got beef with eric b and rakim

[@randombrokeperson]

He’s part of the foundation of hiphop, I hope someone told him that at least once

[@tproudboomer5965]

Why?

[@tproudboomer5965]

@@randombrokeperson Don’t insult James Brown.

[@MattBowler]

To think about the copyright implications of today's environment and how it compares to things back in the old days...

[@shivon.monique]

Lol explaining sampling is wild 😂

[@Liu_Baang]

The way he quieted the interviewer to hear the crowd cheer reminded me of The Rock 🤣

[@kevinharrison3265]

He's one of a kind! ❤🎉

[@TheSkapaw66]

He made the TAMI show what it is. Some say it was his best performance. He was the man!!!

[@larryherbert252]

Much respect for Mr. James Brown, his musicians etc, as it has been talked about the way he treated his musicians l really don’t like that aspect of that, but let me be careful because l haven’t always treated people well either and l REALLY REGRET THAT

[@solarpoweredafricanvegansp178]

Oh wow, sampling started here

[@SPtheGREAT]

When THE GODFATHER SPEAKS, I LISTEN...

[@vaughnchauncy8360]

I wonder if JB fined himself when he blew that split in Tami at one point since he used to fine band members who missed notes.secondly he never paid the Funky drummer royalties for that song nor gave credits...smh no slight dude was dynamite early on

[@VinVonVoom]

Clyde Stubblefield didn't get credits on Funky Drummer because he hated the song.

[@brianshepherd9927]

James brown was a fan of music!

[@rjmurphyo0]

how could someone so greatful and wanting to help the homeless be a woman beater? he had some underlying issues going on.. and it was probably drugs. Would have been nice if he did scar his career in music with the domestic violence.

[@randombrokeperson]

Yeah it’s very interesting - how someone could seem to be humble in some ways but an absolute menace in others.

[@BeautifulOnes876]

The Tami show is bad a**…the host is talented just like the God Father. I should be asleep and got woke the h*ll up laughing.

[@spudnic5849]

No one loved James Brown more then James Brown!
