lol. Literally. Stones regretted going on after JB!

James Brown created a whole new genre and hes still putting food on peoples tables

The lost art of showmanship. James Brown left it all on the stage.

Wish you had played the entire 16 min or so 4 song set....what you are witnessing is HISTORY....this is 1964 and this is the T.A.M.I show....it was a movie concert featuring the top acts of that time including Marvin Gaye, Supremes, Beach Boys , Chuck Berry just to name a few They gave top billing to Rolling Stones who was the biggest British band after the Beatles ....the Rolling Stones were the closing act....James Brown was next to last to perform....after James Brown finished his set....Mick Jagger of the Stones got physically ill and said how are we going to top his performance When you watch James performance you will understand how he influenced MJ, Prince, and generations of artists.....just pure unmatched energy onstage....hope you will react to the full set...it just needs to be seen....great reaction

Oh yeah, James Brown after doing a juvenile prison bid in ALTO STATE PRISON GA's juvenile facility at the time he started in a GOSPEL group and once free went on to do secular music starting with LITTLE RICHARD and then evolved into JAMES BROWN and THE FAMOUS FLAMES. But his actual idol was, THE ORIGINAL MICHAEL JACKSON, THE LARE, GREAT JACKIE WILSON. He was the guy JAMES BROWN, ELVIS PRESLEY, MICHAEL JACKSON all wanted to be. JACKIE WILSON was the original SINGER/ENTERTAINER. If you don't mind check out JACKIE WILSON 'S live performance of " BABY WORKOUT" on the ED SULLIVAN SHOW in 1965. Jackie was THE TOTAL PACKAGE with the vocal range and the dance moves. That's my request. GREAT VIDEO! GREAT REACTION!

Maceo Parker was a horn player

According to an old Rolling Stone article, it was drummer Melvin Parker who pulled out his automatic on JB when Melvin and his brother Maceo were suddenly summoned to JB's dressing room because JB thought Maceo was talking trash behind his back. According to Melvin, JB cocked his fist and was going to punch Maceo in the mouth -- not a good thing for Maceo's sax-playing livelihood -- and that's when Melvin pushed his brother aside, pulled his gun, told JB it was loaded with one in the chamber, and "I stuck it right in his nose, and said, 'I’m ready now. What do you want to do, huh?! What do you want to do?!’ He put his hands up and said, ‘Naw, naw, naw, naw. I didn’t mean that. Not like that.’ I said, ‘You don’t come for me. You don’t come for my brother.'" Melvin further explained, “It didn’t matter where I was, I was always strapped, because sometimes James had good days, sometimes he had bad days. I didn’t want to be a part of the bad days.” 😯

@@rb7007 Mick Jagger would always push back on that famous Keith Richards quote, "Following James Brown [on the T.A.M.I. show] was the biggest mistake of our career." Jagger said that was b.s. because their performance was not immediately following JB's, it just appeared that way in the final edited-for-TV version. "The whole place was cleared and they re-lit the whole thing. There was another audience of screaming teenage girls. I don’t think they’d even seen James Brown and it was hours later. If you watch the film, you see us up against him and you go, ‘Well, they’re not quite as good as James Brown, but whatever.” I guess "not quite as good" is one way to put it. 😂

When men used to BEG!!!!!!

Something else crossed my mind watching this. There’s sort of a what came first “chicken or egg” element going on. Because for those of us who grew up in the 70’s Pentecostal and Baptist households. We remember some of these “Steps” in the aisle on Friday “Joy Nights” so I have to wonder did James get it from the choir or did the choir get it from James 🤨

There were only a few words in tne song! And screamin!!

According to JB, he got the idea for using that cape routine in the 1950s while watching wrestling on TV. A popular wrestler named Gorgeous George would have an assistant throw a cape over his shoulders at the end of his matches, and the audience went nuts. JB turned to his emcee Danny Ray and said, "You know, Mr. Ray? This gotta stay. You got another job now." 😎

I did not watch this when it came out but James Brown has been my favorite entertainer since 1968 when I was 12 years old. I saw him about 100 times in concert I on every single album and 45 that he ever put out I met him a few times and all that good stuff. Love your reaction to this I love seeing younger people getting into Mr. Brown. This performance here is considered the greatest JAMES BROWN performance of this song with the cape routine ever captured on film. He developed this routine from watching the old Penecostal and Baptist preachers years ago and plus he got the idea of the Cape from Gorgeous George wrestler, who used to wear a similar thing when he went into the ring. Please react to NIGHT TRAIN from the same show. That captures his greatest dancing ever filmed. Also, you may want to react to the other two songs from the same show OUT OF SIGHT and PRISONER OF LOVE. Plus there are many other great James Brown performances in the late 60s and 1970s also. This particular performance from THE TAMI SHOW is the earliest concert performance of his ever captured on film. He was 31 years old here.

Kind of understanding why conservatives tried to ban this music, lol! 😅 Just imagine being a repressed teen in the audience. 😂🤣🤣

The truth is, James stole his stage act from Jackie Wilson. Jackie of course never complained, as was his nature. The problem was, James could never sing like Jackie, so it's fortunate that he discovered his own singing style. James was a screamer where Jackie could sing anything from gospel, to pop, to standards, to rock, and even light opera. Jackie's stage act was more inventive. However, anyone that plays with the microphone stand to this day has stolen it from Jackie Wilson, who was a magician with the stand. Try Jackie doing a lip synced version of "Lonely Teardrops" from the old Dick Clark American Bandstand, and then listen to Jackie do the live version of "To Be Loved" on the old Ed Sullivan show. Jackie IMO was the greatest R&B/R&R singer of his generation.

I completely and utterly disagree with you. James Brown didn’t steal anything from Jackie Wilson. James Brown is the greatest entertainer of all time. Jackie Wilson had an great voice, but he did not control his career. He did not write his own songs. There’s no comparison. James Brown stage Jack was the greatest stage act. Jackie Wilson’s stage act didn’t come close.

@@PaulDA2000 Really? James Brown had the greatest stage act? First, again, anybody that plays with a microphone stand stole it from Jackie. But more importantly, Jackie was far more acrobatic onstage than James. Here's an example. I saw Jackie, in a live performance, first start playing with the mike stand with his foot, rocking it back and forth, while holding the mike in his had. He put the mike onto the stand, and it finally fell backward toward him. Jackie, in the middle of verse, spun around, fell to the floor with his legs tucked underneath him, leaned with his back on the floor, caught the mike before it hit the floor, right at his mouth, and continued the verse. He then rose upright from a split to his feet. James could never do ANY of that stuff. Take a look at Jackie doing "Lonely Teardrops" on the old Dick Clark show and watch him jump for the scenery 10 feet onto his knees. James was picking cotton in the fields when he first saw and copied Jackie. It was Dick Clark that said Jackie was the most talent performer he had ever seen. Anything else?

@@EmpressReacts Because James' music is so seminal to black music. Seminal culturally, melodically, thematically, and rhythmically. As was said, Jackie didn't write his music, and because of his versatility, Jackie sang in so many genre's. To sum up, Sam Cook is the most important singer of the R&B/R&R era, because everyone stole from his singing style. Rhythmically and culturally, everyone stole from James. No one stole Jackie's singing style because no one can. He didn't move the dial forward culturally and rhythmically as James did. But his athletic stage act could be copied. When you look at his live performances you don't see half of what he could do because he had to tone it down for the larger TV audiences. By the time James came along he had the courage not to.
