Ohhh, how I miss the days of great black performers . Fabulous voices, beautiful clothes, brilliant choreography.. nobody could match them. So why are so many now screeching obscenities about rape and murder, and dressed like total deadbeats? You couldn't pay me to attend that sort of garbage, but back in the 60s, I would've sold my soul to attend ANY concert by black artistes.

[@delirous8]

They were the greatest performers unmatched and really changed society and made it better. People take it for granted the contributions of Black performers but they inspired everyone. People take good things for granted. People won't learn to appreciate something until it leaves them. Another is that music industry is no good and has stolen from lot of Black artists. Plagarism across the board, no royalty checks and ripping off Black performers. Black artists today don't care about creating music just what sells. Why produce gold when you can produce for crap for cheap, more money and no effort.

Lol, iconic performance! BUT...as you see him near the top of the walkway going off stage, you see him fining the hell out of members of the band for missin' their cues! If you listen carefully you'll hear it. He doesn't react, he just makes a mental note of it and on his way off stage, flashes all 5 fingers of his hands to let them know, yeah, when you get ya ass off stage pay up. LOL

[@nyterpfan]

JB was TOUGH to work for--it better be perfect or your a$$ got busted!! (I read somewhere that he'd fine you for something as minute as having a scuff on your shoe--EVERYTHING had to be on point!!)

[@Chalor.]

I can see the five finger flash to the drummer(s), but there's definitely nothing you can hear from James after leaving the mic to exit. So I'm not sure what part you're talking about where you can listen carefully to hear them say something. Oh, you mean the band (guess that one drummer) screwing up. Trying to find a timestamp on when they messed up.

Many Years ago I had the Pleasure of being Employed at B.B. Kings on 42nd Street in Manhattan as one of Mr. Browns Personal Private Security for Two Nights. On the Stage was his Young Wife who was White and performing with him the Place was Crowded...I was positioned at his Dressing Room. After the show Ended on the Second Night we Escorted Mr. Brown to his Limousine waiting for him on 42nd Street...We Stopped Pedestrian Traffic and he was Roped off with Red Carpet getting into his Limo...When Some Young Brothers wanted to know who was All that Ceremony for and Someone Said James Brown and one of them said All of that for him? I Said to bad he Didn't know how Stupid he Sounded...R.I.P. ✊🏾✊🏾
