James Brown performs "Prisoner of Love" to a live audience on the TAMI Show.
James Brown was influenced by the crossover success of Ray Charles and began to perform pop standards. "Prisoner of Love" was his first Top 20 single.
The TAMI Show is a 1964 concert that included performances by numerous popular rock and roll and R&B musicians from the United States and England. TAMI stood for both "Teenage Awards Music International" and "Teen Age Music International". The concert was held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on October 28 and 29, 1964. Free tickets were distributed to local high school students. The best footage from each of the two concert dates was edited into the film, which was released on December 29, 1964. The TAMI Show is particularly well known for James Brown's performance featuring his legendary dance moves and explosive energy.
Video transcript:
Alone from night to night you'll find me. Too weak to break the chains that bind me. I need no shackles to remind me. I'm just a prisoner, don't let me be a prisoner. For one command I stand and wait now. From one who's master of my fate now. I can't escape for it's too late now. I'm just a prisoner, don't let me be a prisoner. What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms but not with me. Although she has another and I can't have another for I, I'm not free. She's in my dreams, awake or sleeping. Upon my knees to her, I'm creeping. My very life, my life is in her keeping. I'm just a prisoner, don't let me be a prisoner. (Prisoner of love). You made me a prisoner. (Prisoner of love). And you made me love you. (Prisoner of love). Take your shackles of love and go away. (Prisoner of love). 'Cause I love you so much now. Want you so bad. Want you so bad. You, you, you. You made me a prisoner.

The drummer played to the movements of James. He was hitting hard on the one. That's Melvin Parker on the drums, Maceo Parker ' s brother.
Damn that drummer timed that shit 🔥 📛 👨🚒 🚒 🧯
Im GLAD YOU GUYS RECONIZE THOSE THINGS.ON DRUMS I THOUGHT OF THAT SMASH. THAT BRAKE. SO MUCH TO LEARN HERE THE FAMOUS FLAMES FASCINATING TO WATCH. THAT CHORAGRA0HY PLAYED SO WELL. THE TIMING AND EVERY ONE SO LIVE. I SEE THEM AS BIG LIGHT IN SHOW CITY. THEY REALLY WERE. SO GLAD FOR TAMI SHOW. THE FAMOUS FLAMES GOT SHOWN. THE ONLY THING I WISH WAS IN SET CAUSE IT WAS THAT YEAR WAS OUT OF BLUE. BUT IT DIDNT HIT WELL THEN OUT OF SIGHT CAME. GREAT STUFF ITS CLASSIC ALL 4 SONGS ON THIS SHOW. HE DID APEAR ON TV FIRST TIME OM AMERICAN BAND STAND DOIN SHOUT AND SHIMMY AND NIGHT TRAIN BUT IT NEVER CAME OUT ON UTUBE OR ANY COLLECTIION. THIS IS SO. TOUCHING TO WATCH. THOSE GUYS WERE IN THERE THIRTYS LOOK 20. TEEN YOITHFUL. THAT GREAT
The most powerful performance of this song. Nobody else should sing it after him. I understand why James Brown is the "musical father" of Michael Jackson.
Cintia Luz the second live at the Apollo will give you chills
So true in all ways, dancing especially
Yes, the most dynamic version of 'Prisoner of Love'. But for a version by the best tenor (Bill Kenny) of the the 20th century, try the Ink Spots' version, which dates from the 1950's.
@@brahmburgers
1966 is the greatest rendition of this song
1966 Paris
Not 1967
What the FUCK did I just witness? I thought I heard/seen it all. That right there was something I never thought I’d hear/watch. The harmony was STUPID perfect! The horn section? Omg. The build-up, the drop. Omg!
AGREE 1000 % .....the flames .......soooo unsung .......
I saw this in a movie theater with my 5th grade buddies. TAMI SHOW, mid-1960's. We got so rowdy, the theater manager came up and kicked us all out onto the street.
Mr. James Brown tore up this show, and nobody expected it .... not even the Rolling Stones. The Hardest Working Man in Show Business
So many rock and roll artist owe him their lives. The imitations are so apparent . He was the blueprint !
That part 💯
Bro The Rolling Stones couldn’t follow up after this even copied his moves ! Lol
NOT JUST "JAMES BROWN". *JAMES BROWN & THE FAMOUS FLAMES !!!* (Bobby Byrd, Bobby Bennett, and "Baby Lloyd" Stallworth)
Some people said that the Godfather couldn't sing. After listening to this I think they're going to change their minds.
Just be happy that you know the truth
Bro was on stage all the time they tried that when he got older but in the 50s and 60s the man was the ultimate
Ps the voice leaves or gets damaged after years of singing he never gave in
'I need no shackles to remind me' - what a line!
Upon my knees when I'm creepin ...
No other artist can match this.
None!!!
I like the way the drummer lost his drum stick but quickly got himself another one. Lol
+mrtheoneandonly 83 - good catch. Probably never would have noticed that. I think the drummer is John "Jabo" Starks. He was the drummer for Bobby Blue Bland before joining Brown's band.
doc2skate the drummer is Melvin Parker
When?
@@cbrownlee1 your right it's Melvin parker
@@doc2skate jabo came later in the funk era 👍🏿
When you buy a ticket to a concert you pay for the song and a performance this man was an amazing performer and singer
His performance is unbeatable
Johnny Cash used to guzzle a beer in two gulps, just before a stage performance. He would tell his bandmates, "They want to see you sweat." James didn't need beer for that.
@@brahmburgersfacts
NOT just "James Brown". *JAMES BROWN & THE FAMOUS FLAMES !!!!*
Amen
The funk,soul, and dance aside, James had a beautiful voice. RIP
The Drummer (Melvin Parker) was one of the coldest drummers ever. He put some much flare into his drumming. When he drums....u feel every kick and snare to the emotion of the song.....
ALONE FROM NIGHT TO NIGHT YOU FIND ME
Yung Simmmie I Didn't Know He Said That, Thank You, Carolyn Washington, I Love That Song
cnn interview
TO WEAK TO BREAK THESE CHAINS, THAT BIND ME
Eric Andre
sometimes words get in the way when trying to describe something that is beyond description lol THIS is why he is called the GODFATHER !!!!!!!!!
Actually , the nickname "Godfather Of Soul" didn't come along until many years later. Back in the '
50's and '60's , James Brown was known as "MR DYNAMITE" and "THE HARDEST-WORKING MAN IN SHOW BUSINESS".
The absolute master of creating and breaking tension! Unreal!
JAMES & THE FLAMES GET DOWN .................RIP "GOD-FATHER OF SOUL"
He actually WASN'T known as ''The Godfather" until he was an old man.
Back in the Fifties and Sixties, when he was Lead Singer of The FAMOUS FLAMES, James was known as *"MISTER DYNAMITE !!!"*
What a great song, and one of my personal favorites of all time. LOVED the live rendition on The TAMI Show, thank you PBS! Everybody who was anybody in the 60s appeared that night! Would've loved to have been there in person, but I was only six at the time. Born too late. But what an incredible time for music, and everything else! LOVE this song, and will probably listen to it repeatedly till my ears fall off! 😄 😄 😄
+Sabrina Acree Amen Sabrina! I need no shackles to remind me, I'm just a prisoner of your love...Fantastic James Brown Forever.
Sir,.I was there, 2nd row, stage Left, & I was hypnotized. I had " Live At The Apollo"
, so I somewhat knew what to expect, but this man simply defied the laws of physics, & made 300+ white girls see a Black Man for THE 1st time. I saw it : it was a revolution right there. ---------------WolfSky9, 71 y/o
Only James (and perhaps Joe Cocker) could take a slow melodic ballad and turn it into dynamite on stage.
The man. Feeling it!
I don't even have words to describe this situation other then it sums up how I feel inside everyday of my life! I hope to let the beast out soon!
chris brown
Let it out, baby. Let your life just blow you away.
This man is the best live I watched it all him and MJ are the best love the passion is untouchable
Bill Kenny made it but it’s nothing like this rip to both legends
J Brown was a great performer! He had a DYNAMIC voice, very FEW have that ! Michael Jackson admitted coping the king of R & B . This song is a classic, and Brown, James was the right one to do it right! Good video! It was Dick Clark who brought this possible! Those were the days when REAL singing was super! Check out James hair do! - cool huh?
If this performance doesn't make you respect the power of live James Brown (and equally the Flames), then you wouldn't recognize art if it bit you in the ass.
There best. Im white i ger tears in my eyes every time i see this
The FAMOUS FLAMES’ background harmonies are TIGHT…and RIGHT ON POINT !!
And notice how LLOYD is singing just a step away from BOBBY BYRD and BOBBY BENNETT…BUT at the SAME INSTANT that JAMES DROPS TO HIS KNEES…LLOYD immediately SLIDES IN right NEXT to the OTHER FLAMES,without missing a BEAT…and JOINS The OTHER FLAMES in the MOVES and HARMONIES!!
This is still another reason why JAMES BROWN & THE FAMOUS FLAMES wereTHE MOST EXPLOSIVE GROUP IN R&B HISTORY…with POWER and PRECISION that the OTHER GROUPS just couldn’t TOUCH !!
So glad you mention famous flames. They were show how they perfectly meet next set together. That wonderful bit with hands in the back. Rocken back and forth. Fasinateing
If this performance doesnt move you, maybe it's time to give up on life
Wow just amazing !
I love the song because I know the feeling I am a. Prisoner a prisoner of love!
Not just "James Brown " . *JAMES BROWN & THE FAMOUS FLAMES !!!*
(I don't know about YOU, but I see the FLAMES onstage singing the song WITH him !!)
The Famous Flames *(Bobby Byrd, Bobby Bennett, and Lloyd Stallworth)* were inducted into The ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME IN 2012. The Hall of Fame admitted their error, and said that THE FLAMES SHOULD HAVE been Inducted with JAMES BROWN back in 1986 . They were the Original singing group with whom James Brown first became famous. HE was a Famous Flame TOO !!! It's HIGH TIME that people stopped IGNORING The FLAMES...and started giving them their PROPS !!! *UPDATE* The *FAMOUS FLAMES* were just inducted into the *2020 Class* of *The National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame* , being inducted some *SEVEN YEARS* after the induction of their Lead Singer, *JAMES BROWN* .
yes the best music
Fascinant !
Deep! ❤️
I. saw the Tami Show in Oakland Ca. at the New Fruitvale Theater 1st run next time it showed in 2009.
Its still Amazing.!
My uncle said he got a chance to meet James Brown once in nineteen sixty-four. Him and a friend of his were trying to drink a fifth of wine that they slipped into one of his concerts. Some how they got back stage and ran into James Brown. Said he really gave them a good talking to about the wine they were drinking. His whole conversation was about education and them staying out of trouble. Told them to enjoy the show and that he said they did.
That's true James Brown Can't Nobody Do it like he does it and nobody like the flames
U got THAT right !!! JAMES " Mr. Dynamite" BROWN & THE Fabulous FAMOUS FLAMES (BOBBY BYRD, BOBBY BENNETT, and LLOYD STALLWORTH)
So THIS is what he was saying in the beginning of the interview. I've quoted it non stop as "hello from night to night you find me:
Loving this performance in 2022. Amazing !
Love it!
I love this song.
Hello Katharine how was your day today I hope you are save in this pandemic?
Me too
What's up with claymation? like what's up with it?
You need a new desk.
This desk looks like a boat!
I wish I were Lavar Burton
How did you know, sir?
Holy fuck. I melted when I read this.
JAMES BROWN was NOT a "solo artist" back in 1964...despite what the media and JB fanboys would have you believe . He was merely the LEAD SINGER of THE FAMOUS FLAMES. They were NOT simply "backups" for him . They were all a part of the SAME GROUP. The ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME recognized this...and that is why THE FAMOUS FLAMES were retroactively and automatically inducted into the R&R HOF alongside JAMES BROWN in 2012...because they SHOULD have been inducted with HIM back in 1986 !!!
" merely " lead SINGER , Proves you don't know James brown . saying James brown was merely lead singer is like saying Porsche is merely a car
SACTICAL BAG He was a very exciting lead singer, but , in 1964, he was still just the lead singer of The Famous Flames.And I know quite A LOT about his history, thank you. Do YOU ?? DAVID RUFFIN was an exciting lead singer, But he was still just a member of The Temptations. JACKIE WILSON was an even more exciting lead singer, but , at the time, he was just the lead singer of the Dominoes...'til he went solo. The SAME with Brown . Read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Famous_Flames
williamg2552 .....Who cares man, there is only one James Brown. Find 1,000 Flames and you'll never replicate Mr. James Brown. If there was never a James Brown, chances are there never would have been any flames inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If one of the Flames could hold a candle to James Brown, don't you think we would have heard of him or that because of his talent, he would've become an icon like James Brown did? And Maceo (sp?) and Bobby Bland only made names for themselves cause James called their names out in a James Brown song or introduced them to the crowd. They were talented but a lot of people are, but they are not James Brown. Sorry.
@ pleasedontmakemelate "Bobby Bland ?" Shows what you know. *BOBBY BLAND* was a famous Blues Singer...but he was NEVER a Famous Flame. *BOBBY BYRD* was. If you are going to CORRECT someone. please get your FACTS straight.
***** 1) Maceo was NOT a Famous Flame....and neither was any other James Brown Band member. The Flames were a SINGING GROUP...NOT backup musicians .If you don't know THAT, then YOU are the one who needs to brush up on his history. 2) If not for Bobby Byrd and The Famous Flames , you would have never even heard of James Brown. He would still have been rotting in prison on an 8-16 year stretch for Robbery.Bobby Byrd's family got him out of prison , got him a home (with them) and steady work. And Bobby put him in the Flames . And he paid Bobby back by stiffing him and the other Flames (Bobby Bennett, Johnny Terry, and Lloyd Stallworth) out of MILLIONS of dollars in unpaid record royalties , songwriting royalties, and live performance fees. (THAT lawsuit is STILL going on in the courts) . That's GRATITUDE for you !!
JAMES BROWN and THE FAMOUS FLAMES
(Lloyd Stallworth, Bobby Bennett, and Bobby Byrd)
singing PRISONER OF LOVE ((LIVE!)) at the TAMI SHOW!!
Santa Monica (Ca.) Civic Auditorium (1964)…
In an EXPLOSIVE, SHOW-STOPPING PERFORMANCE!!
Abslouty they were best. Even on Ski party get see them up close
WHERE'S MY ICONIC SLAVE ROLE
I wish I was lavar burton!
THE FAMOUS FLAMES are a SINGING GROUP…
NOT James Brown’s Instrumental Band.
The FLAMES are :
LLOYD STALLWORTH,
BOBBY BENNETT,
and BOBBY BYRD.
I was born at 2005 and it my first time to see this kind of show
I've seen JB live, in the early 70's. I've been a gigging musician since age 15 in mid-1960's. James is a massive influence on innumerable musicians. I even do a 7 minute stand-up parody of him, which includes 6 of his songs. Sorry to make this about me, by James would understand that.
that hair, is amazing
JAMES BROWN &
THE FAMOUS FLAMES
(LLOYD STALLWORTH, BOBBY BENNETT & BOBBY BYRD)
Yes , The FAMOUS FLAMES were a SINGING GROUP…NOT A FUNK BAND.
The Musicians were the James Brown Orchestra
(Later the JBs).
Electrifying
Milujem tuto pesnicku💙aj j.b
Exceptional! ❤️
....damn...
James Brown, the Famous Flames and the entire band owned every bit of that stage. They tore it to pieces. From start to finish this entire T.A.M.I Show performance is truly legendary. No way in hell would I dream of following that. The moment the Flames kicked in with that flawless choreography and sang "Prisoner of love" and James dropped to his knees I'm packing, shows over.
Actually, The Flames are singing “Prisoner of Love .“
But, I understand what you mean…this was a DYNAMITE PERFORMANCE!!
yeah Baby
King of Soul
❤James Brown❤!
This “GODFATHER OF SOUL” Title has GOT TO GO. In the Fifties & Sixties, NOBODY called him that. In OUR HEYDAY, James Brown was called…
“MISTER DYNAMITE!!”
rip james
You can’t follow that. PERIOD!!!!!!!

That's not a weave that his real hair! From the gutter to the top
What was he saying from mark 2:11-2:32???
Prisoners of love
Irrepetível
Written by Italian crooner, Russo, who died in 1932 of an accidental gun shot incident.
Mystikal brought me here.
Ccccbb
He was a bit hoarse. By then his voice had been compromised by a combination of screaming, and overindulgence of his vices, cigarettes and alcohol being the main culprits. In the late 1950s and early '60s he sounded like a nightingale.
m. saint James Brown wouldn't touch alcohol or drugs at that time, in the late years of his life was the time he did drugs prior to his son teddy brown dying in a car accident. when he worked with boots Collins and his boys, he fined them for being neAr ciggarettes
I. DON'T. GIVE. A. SHIT. ABOUT. BASEBALL! It's boring!
ALONE FROM NIGHT TO NIGHT YA FIND ME
Almost sounds like AD/DC for a second.
He sings the same thing over and over again 🤣🤣🤣
That’s how the song goes and he got the bitches
