James Brown without question is the greatest showman ever!!! When you are the blueprint for Michael Jackson, Prince, George Clinton and countless others nothing more needs to be said. Each one of them took different aspects of his stage presentation and made it their own. James was a baaaaad man!! Shout out to Bootsy Collins on Base guitar in the back.

There's Bootsy on the bass. Loved this. This is Italy and they reacted the best they could in the circumstances. 😁🇨🇦🔥🔥🔥🥇👍💖😅 Cheers for reacting to this.

I’ve seen James Brown several times at the Apollo Theater. He’s a great performer puts his all in it. The hardest working man. He will always my favorite. Love brother James❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

THE APOLLO THEATER WAS THE BEST PLACE TO SEE AND HEAR JAMES BROWN AND THAT DYNAMITE BAND. JAMES BROWN AND THE APOLLO THEATER BROUGHT OUT THE BEST IN EACH OTHER! THEY WERE BOTH THE BEST THAT I EVER WITNESSED. LET ME SAY THIS THOUGH YAHWEH JEHOVAH GOD IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST MY LORD AND SAVIOR IS ABOVE ALL SO DON'T GET IT TWISTED 🙏

Great reaction JJ! This performance is a great example to show just how HUGE of an international superstar JB was. His unparallelled stage presence is why later stars like MJ and Prince credited him as such a big influence. A young Bootsy Collins on bass and his brother Catfish Collins doing the guitar solo. The great JB Horns section with Fred Wesley on trombone. I loved this entire performance but that transition from Its a Man's Man's World to Soul Power to Get up, Get Into it, Get Involved was PERFECTION!

I saw James Brown LIVE more times then I can count from 1967 on & ALWAYS the best LIVE show you could go to.

To answer your question about splits, he was 38 years old here in 1971. He was doing splits from the time he started out in 1955 until about 1965. For some reason from about early 1965 until about early 1972 he virtually stopped doing splits although he did still do them occasionally, if you can ever see him performing on the Flip Wilson show in 1970, singing September song he did splits there. But after 1972 he started doing splits again with a vengeance all the way up until about 1987 when he was 55 years old. I’ve seen him over 100 times in concert from 1971 until 2005. And in the early 1980s when he played a lot of rock clubs in New York City sometimes he would do upwards of 10 splits in the show.

James did splits in the 80's watch the David Ltterman show performance with Daves Band

Outstanding reaction. I will never get tired of seeing this performance and so glad MP Price brought it HERE!! Yes, the influence JB had on the two biggest stars to rise later, Michael Jackson and Prince, is crystal clear. Every legend is influenced by a predecessor, even if in a small way. There are not enough superlatives for James Brown’s performing (charismatic, dynamic, energetic, off the chain, on and on) and while you acutely noticed, Sir Jammin, that he didn’t do any splits or anything here, he’d definitely been doing them prior. This is still relatively early in his musical journey but definitely not the beginning. He was very well established and a world icon by 1971 as evidenced by the introduction, anticipation, and audience’s reaction. I haven’t always been a fan of the man but his funk inventor and GOAT status is sealed forever. When we took our father 18 years ago as a 60th birthday gift to see James brown live in NYC, I had never seen Daddy bust so many moves I didn’t even know he had left!😂 😅🤣 I enjoyed this immensely all over again.💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💥💥💥🎸🎸🎸 And cooooool VERY YOUNG bassist Bootsy is my fave.

I did not know that was him on the piano!!!! Mad respect James😍 Shades of the Tenth grade!

He is directing the band with words, hand gestures and even the scream...

More entertainers and singers knew how to sing live and play instruments much more back in the day. Couldn't hide behind technology like they do today.

THAT THERE IS SOUL YOUNGINS!

See the young Bootsy Collins on bass? He later cofounded Parliament Funkadelic and is an ageless icon.

You know how often the record could be tight and great but then the live performance would fall short. Well James Brown live was even better than the records and they would never be the same, always something new and fantastic.

Great performance!👏 Legendary James Brown's influence is enormous!

SUPER BAD BROTHER ✊🏾

um, having grown up in that era, I can let you know that lip-syncing didn't happen, and if it did it was NOT with James Brown. OK everyone let me have it....

RIP The Godfather of Soul!

Excellent recording, wow. 👍🏼💖 Thanos as always for your reaction. Love, Nancy

I was around 12 at the time and this song Sex Machine was the biggest song and James Brown the greatest act in this era esp for Black kids. All black boys wanted to be him, as he exuded so much pride in being black in a country dominated by white people. He just meant so much to the black community. Like maybe all the rap groups over the last 20 years combined in one person. He was just that huge. One of his greatest songs was Black and Proud kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zpyek8uQodK_dcY.html. James Brown was the originator. Chuck Berry and Little Richard started Rock and Roll, esp Chuck Berry, but James Brown started funk!

The other king of Soul IMO is the greatest screamer of them all- the wicked Wilson Pickett. Check out Mustang Sally and Hey Jude. He also does a great duet with Tom Jones.

Bootsy and Phelps and Cheese Martin on guitars. Jabo on drums, maybe Tiger Martin is the other drummer. I'm bad with the horn section, but for sure Fred Wesley with the black trombone.

Jackie Wilson, Joe Texx. You had to be a child of the "late 60'S To Catch The Beat!

JB 4 GOAT !! Although the band (JBs) are such incredible musicians which imo haven't been equalled from a Groove perspective. Thanks for the great reaction 😊

FYI Bootsy Collins is in the bass in that video. The irony for me is the he is singing that song in a very conservative, ultra catholic country.

dont matter where you from this makes you just bob your head

I can watch this again and again. This was my favorite part in the movie with Chadwick Boseman they were right on to the T omg .. Now I can save the REAL James's Brown performance 🔥 🔥 RIP James Browns and Chadwick Boseman 🙏 🙏

Plenty of videos of him performing... find them.

No James Brown, no Mick Jagger.(there would not have been a Mick Jagger were not for James Brown)

If you don't find yourself dancing listening to this song, something is wrong with you.

only on those Bandstand Shows did the artist lyp-synch to the record. Those TV shows were to promote the record.

thats Italy , man it was not like the USA.

Bootsy looked like a Cricket on Crack ! ...(KIDDDING)

Who influenced James Brown? LITTLE RICHARD is a good place to start.... BTW The tall guitarist in the back, is that Bootsie Collins? I still don't know when Bootsie was part of James' band!

Lip synching became more popular in the 80s and 90s after MTV created a bunch of talentless models and dancers instead of singers and musicians. Some shows lip synched after bands like the Doors and such, used inappropriate "terms" like "higher" on national television.
