Man, I would have loved to sit in on a rehearsal with my horn. I've never heard bands as tight as the ones backing up The Godfather. And it always seem like they played in quick time.
Listen here brother man I'm with you 💯! When Papa's Got A Brand New Bag came out I was ten years old and because of Maceo I took lessons on the the tenor sax. Believe it or not I started playing the sax solo and it woke my dad up and he said blow dat horn boy, and I did. I certainly miss my dad and I wish that I had kept up with it because I always dreamed of being in the James Brown Orchestra. 😆. Lol.
I’ve always given it to Fred Thomas for having to come in on bass after that of William “Bootsy” Collins in the same year, he truly showed his professionalism and precision as a bass player, and that he could be funky too! From 1972 onward he would come into his own putting his feel on JBs music but I would imagine 1971 was a hard year for him playing someone else’s groove/bass line.
@@SoulOnTopJB I am still wondering why his estate hasn't released his '74 Apollo shows. Of all the Apollo engagements, that was JB at the peak of his funk power. Amazing setlist.
Great compilation! These are the years they NEVER EVER showed when showing clips of him. This is Mr. Brown at the forefront of funk.
Mr dynamite of soul and funky music 👍 🤙 👊 thank s
And the jb's forever
Low down dirty, nasty, stanking funk by James Brown and the JB’s! The Greatest of all Time! ❤
U better shake yr money maker!
05:45 .. this is ORIGINAL J.B.s lineup here. These guys made JB soar into the next decade as the funk master!

Fred Thomas Is No Joke. That Bass Solo He Played On "More Peas" Is Off The Chain!!!
@@kevinballenger1211 agreed no joke
@@kevinballenger1211 What about the groove on I Can't Stand It on the Hot Pants Album! PLEASE check it out!
@@williamparker3328 Oh I Know. I Bought The Album When It First Came Out!
@@kevinballenger1211 Yeah me too! Fred was walking to Washington Georgia as James Brown said. Is you walking away Bass Player come back!!!! Lol.
Thanks a lot, man. Never saw the Slaughter Theme before!
And The Tonight Show band was the PERFECT group to back him on this. This is totally in their wheelhouse!
@@modernretroradio993 They better be perfect or else James would fine them lol
your soul is on top!!!!
As always 😁👍
No one played rhythm guitar before James perfected it. I envy anyone whom ever saw him LIVE in concert in Life❤and he had fun on the Hammond B3😎
Fantastic compilation, thanks so much for posting, wondering who the guitarist is playing the Les Paul?
No idea
Herlon " Cheese " Martin
C'MON NOW, GET IT !
Dynamite!!!
First step. Brown
Is "Mind Power" from The Apollo '74?
From the Apollo, probably '74.
