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.
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.
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.....
That bass really tied the room together man...
They don't make em like this anymore...
Go head James....... James with the mustache was extra funky 😅
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”
That amount of funk should be illegal. Only the ones like JB are able too handle it.
This is one of my favorite James brown live performances because he finished his performance and danced with the crowd. Very down to earth!
Love it, too.
its me fav song by The Master Funky
Yes, it’s so exciting watching him leave the stage, joining the soul train dancers on the floor!
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!
So funky, so professional.
I would never want to go on before or after James Brown, you'd get booed either damned way.

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‼️‼️💯💯💯
Why can't the world still be like this
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.
Mr. Original !.

SOUL BROTHA #1, JAMES BROWN!
This is one of James's funkiest tunes 👌.
This is a straight up JAMMMMM!
That lady (back up) singer is beautiful.
That’s the legendary Martha Hines
Martha High. (nee Harvin).

Holy mother of god... that's funky
This bass ❤
Whole band on point!!!! Damn!!
He wouldn't have it any other way
Damn right... They didnt want a fine
They just don't go hard like this any more !
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.
Maceo does
Amen, they don’t go hard. No talent, no drive, no SOUL
The legend 🙌🏽
I can't help but dance to this thang hahahahaha 😂 double check ✔️

SOUL BROTHA # 1
I would have been losing my mind in the crowd.
d101203 Joe brow superbar James brown. Super bad live.

That's how you leave a gotdamn stage
The screaming on the actual album is a lot more intense Funky as none cans of shaving powder now that’s Funky.

R I P soul bro James Brown
James Brown..love all his music!
When the LIVE version is better than the studio version>>>>
The best
I have met Fred Wesley (TROMBONE, J.B. Horns) & heard him play live. He's great!
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.....
great leader.

Hard to believe, he's been dead since Christmas of '06,
This shit is illmatic. 😭 Damn bro
Fuckin masterpiece
At 1:00 he snapped
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! 🤔
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.
Bobby debarge in the crowd lol
Fun fact if you hear this song at a party odds are demons are after you. Or you're dead and in limbo.
It was.
I don't think I've wanted an afro as bad as I do right now.
lords of the underground 1993!
Lol i peeped that sample too!!!
this horn section is bloody slick. what a funky sexy track. did james do a recording of this track?
themax316 This track MY THANG was his 2nd of 3 #1 Soul record’s in 1974. Just look it up on TH-cam to hear it.
The studio cut is featured prominently in the movie Jacobs Ladder, ya know, if you’re into that sorta thing
@@hollandoates961 thank you kindly
I am the whitest guy you know and I want to be at THAT party!
I would have you beat, I am milk white anglo saxon
I heard this in Jacob's ladder
lol soooo true....
If That Mustache Could
Speak Damn

Lyn Collins

Jimmie B that’s Martha High, NOT Lyn Collins.
Super bad!
