I actually met James Brown one day in the mid 1990's here in South Carolina. I pulled into a convenience store and he came out with a bottle of T.J. Swan wine. He stopped and spoke to me and my kids, he said "God loves the little children" and then left. I knew he lived several miles from me but you don't ever expect to meet someone like him outside of a store. It's just a nice memory of a very nice and talented man.

@@ES2990 oh knock if off please. Many of us have been doing our best to stop this all our adult lives. I grew up in Virginia where racism was very strong at the time and interracial marriage was against the law there, and was young during the civil rights movement. Those shaped my beliefs to support blacks and people of all races. I have multi racial friends of all ethnic groups including black, middle Eastern, Native Americans and hispanic, worked with and hung out with the black basketball players in college where we'd all get together at night in the dorms to play the piano and sing (a few of them went on to play with the Harlem Globe Trotters), brought black and other friends of varying races home for dinner with my family and have interracial family members. I continue signing political petitions, support and donated money to Rev. Warnock, Stacie Abrams, Corey Booker, Mandela Barns, Val Demings and a multitude of other people there, and voted twice for Obama. When he first ran, a friend said, "look at the black man." I had to look several times because I hadn't noticed Obama was black. It starts with one person at a time. As the Dalai Lama says, Peace Begins With the Individual". You sound like you're still bitter. So what are YOU doing to make changes? Can you think outside the box or are you still nurturing your grievances? Did you vote? Do you support candidates of all races based on qualifications, not just race? if so, did you vote Republican? Or Dem? Because that makes all the difference in the world. NOW LET'S GET BACK TO THE MUSIC!!

Till this day it is the greatest experience watching a film in theaters I've had because everyone was turning up, old and young. Every single seat was taken. I've been to this movie theater countless times before but it was the first time I noticed how more than 95% of the audience was black. I had no idea how important he was to black culture and my respect for him grew. i love his music now and the funk, soul, and jazz genre. I have an obsession for it actually.

James was a hurricane. One of the most talented performers of all time. One of Elvis closest friends too. Can you imagine the stuff and music knowledge they discussed and shared?

James Brown really on the best show on earth. Saw him live in the 90s. Just amazing.

Watch James with Luciano Pavarotti singing this...true gold.

My first concert was James Brown. I was 12, and my older brother took me. I'll never forget it!

[@rl8925]

I found James Brown first time in my dad's vinyl collection when I was 12... it was like nothing else! Raw and Incredible :)
