Mr James Brown, so nice to be in your digital presence

[@melvinpruitt3907]

Still searching for his autograph he signed to me in 88.

[@dolemite72]

This is a funk disco version of Sex Machine and I LOVE it! The bad thing is, the 1975 album version isn't as fast and bouncy. This is a KILLA!

[@sterlingrozier6380]

Yes the King of soul. Soul Brother number 1

[@marvinhagler4721]

James Brown and THE CREW!!!!!!!!

[@shemcg7830]

💫✨ James Brown had natural metronomic abilities in his 🧠 mind and rhythmic 🥁 syncopation in his feet, 👣 bringing it all 2gthr on a funky 🎚️ level of intensity and precision! 🕺🏾💃🏽 Thk U 4 the 🆙Load. 💫✨

[@antoniowyckoff2]

11:09 "Can we give the drummer some? "

[@jerryspearman]

I enjoy watching classic footage of Mr.Brown and the mighty JB’s ✌🏿

[@ckutmasterrick5310]

“Soul Father”That’s a new one from Wolfman

[@fabricio4794]

He Was The"Bruce Lee of Funk"

[@anthonytaylor7928]

Thats a dumb comment

[@moeleikette2842]

No...Bruce Lee was the James Brown of martial arts! Agreed?

[@a.c.6475]

​@@anthonytaylor7928hmm!...the comment of a child-mind of course. But after 400 plus years....what on earth would they do without us!

[@richgirl5190]

The (KING) of soul"

[@sterlingrozier6380]

Prince and MJ got the mike bounce from James

[@KLIPAMSoulRadioStation]

...James Brown was approximately 44 years old at this time 1977 having been born in 1933...dong the splits looking good with that mustache and soul patch which only he could pull off..and look great. Other entertainers at the age were reaching "over the hill"; except the Mighty James Brown.

[@cburns3256]

Elvis was dead at 42 !

[@rabahboudrouma2041]

That right

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

Definitely “The Hardest working man in Show business”

[@Darkcranio]

Yep and did it for a good 10 years after this. He stopped doing the splits around 55 years old.

[@harrywilliams7082]

From 1972 to 1980 James Brown and The JBs was pumping out hit after hit constant funky grooves those were the highlights of my teen years listening

[@domgoings6722]

The man was head engineer of his ultra funk train, rhythm section being the drive force. AMAZING MR. JAMES BROWN.

[@ellenlewis9959]

Get on the gd foot

[@rosemarylmontgomery7143]

One of the most talented men ever!!!GOD FATHER OF SOUL ❤️❤️

[@heydayma10513]

How did he do that?!

[@BenjaminDeCruz]

The master performer!!! 🙌🏽

[@SoulOnTopJB]

Note the shout out for The Ohio Players, I didn't know they did a 6 month USA tour together. Not sure what year that was.

[@heydayma10513]

How did he do that?; cause ..he could feel the beat(s)!

[@zacharyscott9871]

When I first saw this it was in mid-September, 1976. SoulOnTop, you've done a fantastic job of restoring this dynamic clip.

[@Thedearster]

Damn, this performance must of been a blow for JB. He was starting to become irrelevant with a newer generation and its really evident looking at how bored the audience looked most of the time. Sad sight to see honestly. But, I guarantee someone in the audience today brags about seeing JB live "that one time." Lolz

[@themaggattack]

James Brown will never be irrelevant! (The ones who looked bored just had no soul!)

[@sovereignratio]

We are all watching a true master of a craft. There are so many flawless live performances and his band is always top-notch.

[@dianaphillips8927]

The man DID invent soul!

[@MsPingitore]

The best

[@marilynjackson5983]

Why did the number one soul brother have to make this white audience get up and dance. The funky sound of James Brown Band should have made them jumped to their feet without Mr. Brown saying a word!!

[@EdwardTapiaEddie199tp]

Totally, but you know how they are... like sheeps

[@marcosmartinez8088]

That's the same people that dont have any seasoning on their white recipes.

[@valneieduardofernandes8195]

Puta que pariu.... Isso sim é um artista musical ❤❤❤❤

[@raphaelabernathy7642]

The "Mustache Era"of James Brown was Heavyweight funk. Nothing to play with

[@shidddwhotoldyouthat]

hi James.. just letting you know that around this time you had two little boys named Michael and Prince and that watching your every move and they ended up becoming two of the biggest stars in the world .. thanks for inspiring the next generation.. i mean you sort created hiphop in a way as well 🔥🙏🏽 really appreciate you

[@robertwagner9014]

Michael Jackson was a huge star by this point and was a year away from recording Off the Wall. You'd have to go back 10 years to when he was perhaps watching James Brown's every move. Prince was not in the same league as MJ or JB.

[@MrSpikebender]

I heard JB (RIP) was hard to play for, I'm not taking anything away from anyone who played with him, But in older videos all the Brothers are getting down in the horn section. Dancing, back up vocals. The White dudes, not so much.

[@garyberuck5636]

Get up ya !!!

[@jameswilson1522]

Incredible !

[@kviz1111]

Yeah I love jb !!!!

I was born too late...😒

[@aphill2208]

You missed a legand! and, I grew up with his music, saw him live when I was 16! Evidently you are a old soul if you appreciate this now 😮

[@ЯнКульман]

JB всегда шикарен.

[@slavaivanov6675]

Легенда ! ! !

[@kennycrockett8202]

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

[@porkbeans4792]

Some of his soldiers by this time had joined Uncle Jams Army The Mothership. Parliament Funkadelic.

[@bmuhamad]

Still a killer band...

[@hectormedina7198]

May you Rest In Pease, Amen!

[@Mister.Beagle_8-8]

The LEGENDARY Iconic Mr James Brown aka the Godfather of soul Funk and Hip hop ♥️

[@ChrisProsser03]

Friggin holding them valves down. Get down.

[@JudahShapiro]

AND BOOTSIE !

[@modernretroradio993]

Bootsy was a full-time P-Funketeer and solo recording star by this period.

[@LAWGUY-yh8no]

@@modernretroradio993 hey there-soo you might be right my friend-BUT consider this just for the fun(k) of it--- and I know what I am talkin about- I was BERNIE and Judi WORRELL's lawyer and Bootsie liked me when we schmoozed- so I respectfully submit/TESTIFY- First-that performance is NOT from 1977 --it is from 1974--Wolfman Jack says so in the clip etc...which make a big difference..and Secondly - as we would say in 1974---that guitarist in the back--'He Sho'Nuff looks like Bootsie !" So I am about sixty-nine(69%) percent sure it's him ..What do you think?...Hey if you want to see something good (and Bootsie certified)..watch an SNL performance of 'Funky Kingston" with Bootsie Toots Maytal and the Roots...good stuff...let me know you got this....best JS

[@emmanuelsantana3369]

fantastic

[@AdrienneReneau-ky4sc]

Wow what a groove❤❤

[@SwampEye1]

Prince and his bands never came close to these guys
