JAMES BROWN & THE J.B.'S - MY THANG. LIVE TV PERFORMANCE 1974

[@GordiansKnotHere]

That bass really tied the room together man... They don't make em like this anymore...

[@Sheisneika0976]

Go head James....... James with the mustache was extra funky 😅

[@Veranek]

That amount of funk should be illegal. Only the ones like JB are able too handle it.

[@djmodeste]

Super funk.

[@brendansmith3851]

wouldnt care if i was the only white man there... id be going nuts to this jam. So damn good

[@cocobrowns]

This is one of my favorite James brown live performances because he finished his performance and danced with the crowd. Very down to earth!

[@pamelabraden5176]

Love it, too.

[@davidsenger4833]

its me fav song by The Master Funky

[@raywilliams7266]

Yes, it’s so exciting watching him leave the stage, joining the soul train dancers on the floor!

[@a.c.6475]

One of the few artists that did it live on Soul Train...you can't imagine how exciting this was watching this as a teenager! Great memories!

[@IainTerry-v6r]

So funky, so professional.

[@mrmaxxx94]

James brown tore that stage up,the band was 🔥 they wrecked soul train, Happy birthday,rip

[@slice39]

I would never want to go on before or after James Brown, you'd get booed either damned way.

[@kermitwilliams3970]

Got ta mighty damn... Nobody hits the 1 like Soul Brotha #1🎵🎼🎹🎻🎺🎷🎸🎶👏🏿✊🏿

[@hillarygendi6452]

That lady (back up) singer is beautiful.

[@DRUMTOY2002]

That’s the legendary Martha Hines

[@carouselred8994]

Martha High. (nee Harvin).

[@DRUMTOY2002]

@@carouselred8994 Oh sorry, my bad!

[@PaulDA2000]

That guy is Danny Raye who was with Mr. Brown as chief MC and other duties since about 1960. He worked for him until Mr. Brown passed away in 2006.

[@jessejames1956]

At 1:39, that crowd had no idea they were listening to the future. A Hip Hop break before it was invented. Mr. John Ja'bo Starks on drums with that signature snare sound heard on so many rap records and the great Jimmy Nolen on guitar. Fred Thomas on bass. Probably the most sampled bass player in the world.

[@eadyfusion]

jessejames1956 That breakdown was so clean 🔥🔥🔥

[@d101203]

I would have been losing my mind in the crowd.

[@lillieclackministries8231]

[@michaelburton5090]

Me too😀🕺🏽

[@Twalk1123]

Why can't the world still be like this

[@Irobertcmassey]

They just don't go hard like this any more !

[@UNDFTDGordon]

There's a brand new funk in town if you're interested. Look up Lord Gord - Leave My Curl Alone. Return of the super heavy.

[@gratefulape12]

Maceo does

[@jamesgant213]

Amen, they don’t go hard. No talent, no drive, no SOUL

[@valendanewell5901]

When JAMES hit the GROOVE, he knew it’s about the BAND knowing how to make the GROOVE happen and KEEP IT GOING….JB’s Best FUNK BAND EVER‼️‼️💯💯💯

[@immasoxfanbaby]

I can't help but dance to this thang hahahahaha 😂 double check ✔️

[@stevenholquin2127]

The Godfather of Soul The Godfather of Funk Soul Brother Number #1 The King of Funk The King of Soul Rev. James Brown Give Me “My Thang”

[@ememem6]

That's how you leave a gotdamn stage

[@GarwinWayne]

From 2:46 to 3:06 ...the man who could command the audience in the palm of his hand..JAMES BROWN. Long before Michael Jackson. What a dynamic man and l saw him in person.

[@kylechambers609]

When the LIVE version is better than the studio version>>>>

[@bigpoppa3866]

Whole band on point!!!! Damn!!

[@antwanholman2449]

He wouldn't have it any other way

[@barbaraglover4451]

R I P soul bro James Brown

[@Pimpwindu]

Bobby debarge in the crowd lol

[@SteveStalzle]

I have met Fred Wesley (TROMBONE, J.B. Horns) & heard him play live. He's great!

[@ebonykaleidoscope]

I hope Magic Johnson understands the importance of releasing all of the classic Soul Train performances like this. I can't imagine what it would mean if they were lost forever. Many of us lived Saturday after Saturday with performances such as this.....

[@manoelprado6734]

the true funky.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DaveWollenberg]

Hard to believe, he's been dead since Christmas of '06,

[@s.o.h7928]

James Brown..love all his music!

[@MsYelfouf]

great leader.

[@philippevolo8327]

The best

[@drstevie]

amazing !

[@christopherqueen8097]

The screaming on the actual album is a lot more intense Funky as none cans of shaving powder now that’s Funky.

[@itsmythang4177]

Mr. Original !.

[@Narquise1st]

At 1:00 he snapped

[@Twalk1123]

This shit is illmatic. 😭 Damn bro

[@joseiurirodriguesgomes824]

This bass ❤

[@Twalk1123]

Fuckin masterpiece

[@florinivan6907]

Fun fact if you hear this song at a party odds are demons are after you. Or you're dead and in limbo.

[@raystroman4473]

This performance is better than the studio version the screams make it 10 times better

[@antonposa]

I don't think I've wanted an afro as bad as I do right now.

[@deathakid]

I heard this in Jacob's ladder

[@ChrisNova777]

lords of the underground 1993!

[@Monty_McFly]

Lol i peeped that sample too!!!

[@TheReal1ist]

It was.

[@giftednanointedcrafts6650]

That lady singing to the far left with the brownish black dress on with the pretty long hair, was that James Brown wife at that time! 🤔

[@jessejames1956]

No. That's Ms. Martha High. She sang with JB from the 70's up until his death in 2006. And she's still jazzy looking.

[@themax316]

this horn section is bloody slick. what a funky sexy track. did james do a recording of this track?

[@PaulDA2000]

themax316 This track MY THANG was his 2nd of 3 #1 Soul record’s in 1974. Just look it up on KZbin to hear it.

[@hollandoates961]

The studio cut is featured prominently in the movie Jacobs Ladder, ya know, if you’re into that sorta thing
