Only younger people , born from the 1980's onward , know him as "The Godfather Of Soul". Those of us who are older, who actually alive to first see his rise to prominence, refer to James as "MR. DYNAMITE" and "THE HARDEST-WORKING MAN IN SHOW BUSINESS" .

I think James Brown was really affected more by the death of his son Teddy in a car accident than he ever let on. My opinion is that is what turned him to using drugs. This was briefly touched on in the "Get on up" movie. Like many men of his generation, I think he tended to bury his emotions, often through self medicating. Still the 🐐

If you want to start a thread about James beating his women, that's fine. That aspect of his personality takes away from his legacy in my opinion.

That’s never a reason to put your hands on a woman. If that took away from his legacy that’s his fault. It was a legacy he created. All he did was give those white people something to talk about.

A rule of life: Be mindful of who you donate your power to. What I mean is we all have a life force. We all have talent. We all have the ability to offer something to this world. If you give your power into someone who is insecure, they'll often try to make you think you don't have anything to give that they didn't give you. They'll control you with abuse, make you think you're nothing without them and they'll take the best for themselves because they're convinced they've earned that right. James Brown is one of the greatest entertainers ever to live but he didn't get there alone. No one ever does.

I am white, fifty-two and a conservative American from Augusta, Ga. (South Augusta to be exact) and James Brown along with many of my music idols have been arrested and publicly shamed by the media but they do not whine about it and neither did Mr.Brown, may he rest in peace and I hope God himself is singing along to "It's a mans world, but it wouldn't mean a thing without a woman or a girl" in Heaven!!! But give the race crap a rest, please!!!!!

Total disregard for society which is a big f u to his fans so no thanks. Lost all respect for him. He didn't say it in the heat of the moment. He meant it. I'm famous you're not you don't count. I disagree.

James Brown, thank you for the unique songs, sounds and dancing. Why people hate you is they did not have your unique talent. Jealousy will always be present long as satan exist, for he is the route of all negativity. Jealousy can not touch you any more, Mr. James Brown.

It's no mystery that James struggled terribly during his childhood -- hunger, soul-crushing poverty -- and as close as he was with his father in his later years, his father was also very cruel and abusive to James when he was young. Put simply, he carried a lot of anger around inside, and it came out ugly all too often. Not making excuses for the man, not saying it was okay -- just suggesting that that's where a lot of it came from.

His childhood should be no excuse for his behavior as a grown man,and if u would hurt someone then don't be in a relationship stay single,those women did nothing to him they didn't deserve the treatment he gave them. Neither are they responsible for his childhood trauma.people always feel that the innocent must pay for the guilty.

Hello Kate How are you doing today?

James Brown had an inexplicable energy about him. Anyone who attended his concerts will attest to the high energy level in the room. I'd like to relate this story involving Mr. Brown. James Brown visited a correctional facility once and while there, he shook the hand of a white inmate. The white inmate's reaction was as if God himself had touched him. Later on, it was reported that after the inmate got out of jail, he became a model citizen and a testimony to..........Now, I don't know if his brief encounter with Mr. Brown had anything to do with it but..................

I used to see James Brown when I got my haircut next to a record shop called Pyramid music in Augusta. He would always stop for pics and autographs. I’m sure he had his faults like everyone but he loved his people and his town.

The only erratic behavior here is the reporter racism at work

Bobby and Vicki, at the time of this interview believed that James Brown was washed-up. He turned out to be more than anybody knew.

His behavior from about 1980 until the 90s was classic PCP behavior. Erratic, inclined to rage, delusional- these were all a part of JBs life. So ironic that a man who had preached against drugs was hobbled by them.
