[@RevbIGhIG]

Amen, brother!

[@allworld4414]

there is no other artist that can even come close to fonkin' wit James Brown. Musically, entertaining, swag, demeanor, arrogance, audacity, respect. The one and only Godfather of Soul. The hardest working man in show biz, Mr. Dynomite. All tha above. The truth.

[@chinanolan1529]

"Ladies and gentlemen....there are 7 acknowledged wonders of the world. You are about to witness the eighth....put your hands together for the hardest-working man in show business, the Soul Brother #1, the Godfather of Soul......JAMES BROWN!" after this frickin' 40,000 people went ape shyt screaming! Best concert. Chicago's International Amphitheatre December 1969!

Best part is, none of them wouldve made the music they did if James hadn't done what he did. I honestly think James had more of an impact on music during his time and since than anyone has or will ever have ever.

[@nelsonsaunders6449]

All those dudes would absolutely give props to JB. JB is the motherfucking progenitor. I honestly think that he is the best musical performer ever to walk the face of the earth.

I believe that Pee Ellis arranged the horns. Don’t believe Fred Westley had joined them yet.

I think it was "PeeWee Ellis" who was running the horns, especially the saxes!

No one on earth could scream like the late, great James Brown. Kudos to backup band the Flames, with Maceo Parker on sax, and the awesome horns section.

The Flames were the backup singers. The band was separate. It was the James Brown Band.

[@caribman10]

This song establishes why r&b and rock and roll are more than what the lyrics are. James is on fire. The bass line is a continuum. James carries the beat. And "funk"is thusly defined. Problem is, you have to play this song LOUD.

[@honeylove7678]

We loved James Brown so much I named my German Shepherd " Good Foot" and a friend named her dog "Pop Corn" JB was on the turntable non stop. 🔥
