He's been called The Godfather of Soul, Soul Brother #1, and The Hardest Working Man in Show Business. He's the architect of funk and the most sampled artist ever.
NO, this is JAMES BROWN'S song. JB is the MOST sampled artist for hip hop artists. And it's for a good reason! Glad to see Genz checking out the goods.
th-cam.com/video/RQmqcaS5LIM/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared lots of black artists beat thier wives just like James brown....but he was the best at it right?
I must disagree, just a bit. Eddie does a great James. BUt James came first. I wouldn't jump into this as a GenZ dude without getting my history straight. Knowing nothing about this is just disrespectful.
James was singing pure, unadulterated soul music before anyone had a name for it. It was just rhythm and blues back then. He’s arguably the most important artist in the history of R&B.
I’m a white 78 year old g’g’ma and a fan of all his music. Any thing of his is wonderful. He put his heart and soul into every single song. Check out anything of his you can. It’s an experience.
Getting older it's sad when you realise people don't know people like James Brown, but what a joy to see he still hits when you find him. His standatrds are high. SEX MACHINE is a mad one.
Not knowing who James Brown is or basic history is not a getting old thing. Born in 76 I still knew who Ella Fitzgerald and The Beatles, hyndrix, Gershwin. Agreed, it is sad, Disappointing and scary. 😢
@@angelachicken4141 I was born in the 70s as well, but when you’re first generation American! like myself and your parents are in charge of the music that you listen to, you will mostly listen to songs from your parents, or your older siblings, my friends was listening to hip-hop reggae, music or Latin music I began loving jazz country music in my 30s
Just because I feel the need to encourage young people to actually LEARN Black American history is why I have to write this comment. James Brown is the person who gave us the song and direction to call ourselves, "Black." When I was born in 1959, my people were called Negroes and Coloreds. James Brown released a song called , "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud." I advise you to find it and listen careful to that major piece of history. ALSO, it was James Brown who performed in Detroit the night Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis. If he had not performed, that city would have been burnt to the ground as many other cities were burnt. For us Black people, the pain of King's murder was too much to contain. Young man, learn who Black Americans are and what we have endured PRIOR to making music reaction videos about our people and their talents. I am 65 years old now. Sadly few young Black people know anything about their own peoples' history.
@@johngoodwin2384 Was coming here to say the same. I am a white dude and it has really baffled me how this younger generation are not aware of someone like James Brown and how incredibly important he was.
The "Godfather of Soul". There is no one else like James Brown. He was quite the showman in his delivery. This is his song, not a cover. Its a, live performance and more embellished than his original recording. Check out James Brown with Lucia no Pavarotti in a duet of this song. Check out Tom Jones and Jennifer Hudson doing an impromptu cover of this song on The Voice, tv show.
RIP King James!! No one can touch him! No one! I saw him live when i was like 10 years old(53 years ago) It was one of the most incredible live performances i have ever seen in my life! So much energy, passion, showmanship, and the band.....goodness gracious! There will never be another like him! MJ(RIP) Prince(RIP) Jackie Wilson(RIP) and The Godfather of Soul Mr James Brown!! 4 of the best to ever do it!
Man Jay, this guy was pure soul, He wasn't what they use to call silk and soul, He was just pure soul. A radio station in San Francisco Ca use to call Motown music "silk and soul" I just loved it. and I am from Germany.
A lot of artists covered some of his songs and his rhythm, but the only artist that paid him back was Prince, Michael Jackson got a lot of his moves from James Brown, He is the godfather of soul
I like all you young guys discovering all the music I grew up with. I'll say to you, like I tell my nieces and nephews, "You know, a lot happened before you got here."
Watch the TAMI show. It's incredible. Fun fact - The Rolling Stones came on after him at their insistence. Apparently, when James Brown came off the stage, he said to them "Welcome to America" - ie, follow that. No one could follow James Brown! th-cam.com/video/6-E0X2JxCs4/w-d-xo.html
@allybandy3047 is correct. This is NOT a cover. James Brown and Betty Jean Newsome wrote this in early 1966, and James Brown was the original singer. It hit #1 US Billboard R&B Chart in '66; #8 US Billboard Hot 100 Chart in '66; #13 in UK Chart (I don't remember which one).
I saw James 3 times. He is THE GODFATHER OF SOUL. He's sweating so much because he does this song in the middle of his show after doing his trademark power funk dance grooves and songs with his amazing band. 'Man's World' is the ballad section of the show. You should watch the entire performance. Prepare to be amazed. Loved your reaction.
This performance was from 1981 when he was 48 years old. He’s been my favorite singer since I was 12 and 1968, I saw him about 100 times in concert I have all of his records I met him a few times. And I always like when people react to him that never really saw him much before. Your was excellent.
James Brown originated this song, "It's a Man's World," as well, Say it loud, " I'm Black and I'm Proud, Hot Pants," and songs that have been the mostly sampled in today's music.
At Elvis Presley's wake, the person who stayed the longest praying by EP's casket was Mr James Brown. He was in there for over 2 1/2 hrs and finally had to be helped out because of time constraints. He is full of SOUL, love this man....
Wow. I know I'm old but I never thought we'd reached a time when someone would ask who was James Brown. haha. No disrespect, bro. There are so many artists from the past, and most are easy to forget. But Mr Brown was the Godfather of Soul. He brought the funk before funk was a thing. He created the pocket. haha Check out Sex Machine live.... one of the old videos from the 70s (before he got too fat haha)
Oh honey I LOVE watching your reaction to the late great James Brown. As a 70 year old Southern country gal. THIS is what really got me into listening to other kinds of music.❤❤❤❤ Up until then all I had listened to was some gospel. HE WAS THE GODFATHER of SOUL , and was also known as THE HARDEST WORKING MAN IN SHOWBIZ. He gave the same amount of extreme energy from the beginning of his show to the end of it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰 He also had extreme dance moves that were just so - so energetic also. DAAAAMN !!!!!💥💥💥💥💥 Honey you ain't seen nothing yet. But it was thanks to this man that I got into jazz , the blues , Rock , and rhythm and blues. That's when I started going back and listening to some of the old old music that started even back in the thirties and forties. When I heard that he had sing a duet with the opera singer Lucia Pavarotti s*** when I listen to that it just blew my mind out of the entire universe. WOW , OH hell yeah !!!!💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥 By the way the dance moves he did has been imitated buy many , many , other singers like Michael Jackson the name just one out of many. But hell no they still can't dance as good as James Brown could. WOW !!!! You damn sure want to go ahead and check out all of James Brown's music, I guarantee honey it will blow your mind. Once again thanks to your reaction that you had that just goes to show there's still a lot of people that can still appreciate James Brown, past , present , and in the future. There will NEVER , EVER , be another person that can come close to, THE GODFATHER OF SOUL. ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏 , may God Bless you, son and sending much love to you and yours stay safe and healthy.
I grew up listening to James Brown. The GODFATHER of soul - aka the hardest working many in show business. Great artists and great music were more common back then.
The Godfather of Soul! His bans has been sampled countless times in all genres of music. He has so many hits and advocated for Civil Rights. He was a great dancer as well.
Got to see him perform in El Paso, Tx when he was up in age and he sounded damn near like he sounds here..I was in another planet amazed…It was extraordinarily crazy how good he sounded at that age.
Oh answering your question about how did he impact some of us growing up. I was a 12 year-old white kid in 1968 who didn’t know anything about music and I heard one of his songs somebody brought a 45 record into school and played it and immediately he became my favorite entertainer and I realized this music came from over the years I got all of his albums and 45s which were quite a few of them he had like almost 80 albums, and I saw him about 100 times in concert over 30 years and I met him a few times. And I had pretty hard time growing up and going through this or that and his music sustained me through all of that. I cannot even explain what he has meant to me over the years.
OMFG DUDE! JAMES IS THE GODFATHER OF SOUL! He was absolutely INSTRUMENTAL in pioneering what is soul music today! James came from poverty and his voice, hustle and groove led him to become one of the greatest singers, composers and entertainers of all time! He was a LITERAL perfectionist too, musically-speaking. If ANY of his band members missed a cue or even flubbed ONE note...he'd dock their pay! His sense of timing and rhythm was unmatched! ^..^
Parents... you all are failing these children. I was born in the 70's and grew up listening to the music of my parents and grandparents, because they played them for us. We didn't think it then, but I'm blessed that they did.
This is the first album my boyfriend bought me in 1965. Mr. Dynamite, 2 nd was. Righteous brothers, 3rd was. Sonny ,& cher. James brown is the man ❤️🔥❤️🔥. Please play. Try me. By James. 💕another great song by James is, say it loud. I'm black and I'm proud. 🎶🎶🎶🔥
Saw him around this time, it was a great night. He had already slowed down quite a bit by this time. If you can check him out when in the 70 s . What a character ! The band was great
My mother was blessed to see him live at the Hollywood Palladium in 1962 when she was 15. She said it was hands down the best concert she ever witnessed. Even better than Marvin Gaye.
You could react to his medley on the Ed Sullivan show in 1966 it’s about eight minutes long also his 1964 appearance on THE TAMI SHOW. You can react to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Which was almost the beginning of his famous routine where they draped the cape on him during the song. And also NIGHT TRAIN from the same show and you’ll see him do his most amazing dancing that has ever been captured on film.
James Brown was one of the most talented men of all time!!!!!!! Your generation has absolute shit to enjoy & look up to!!! You have so much to look back on & catch up on brother, enjoy!!!
"It's a Man's Man's Man's World" is a song written by James Brown and Betty Jean Newsome. Brown recorded it on February 16, 1966, in a New York City studio and released it as a single later that year. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart and No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2][3] Its title is a word play on the 1963 comedy film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
The GODFATHER OF SOUL. He has been sampled by more hip hop artists than any other singer. He is legend. He created FUNK. Think on that for a second! ❤😊 He inspired every soul artist ever.
