@@thetruesoulofanaquarius9302 There are many differences between now and back then. Back then Some women wore wigs where as now damn near all of you wear that shit. Today you got young girls wearing that shit. Back then little girls were all natural because their parents taught them better. A If you weren’t alive living in that era you shouldn’t speak on it because it was far different than the fake phony shot you see out here today.

I think James forgot that he was supposed to be performing. Good God I love it. Much respect to the God Father and Ms Damita. I could watch this over and over and I have.

If there is a dancer's hall of fame, she DEFINITELY needs to be in it!

He can't look anywhere else. She's got him memorized ❤️

Damita was killing it. Oh yeah James was cool too. Lol

She killed it!!!!

Ms. Damita Jo just killin it! You know you're super bad when you get the Godfather to stop and take notice!

JB staring at Damita like; HEY, LEMME GET ONE OF THOSE DANCE MOVES UP OFF YA!! *Soul Brother #1 was taking notes!!*

I came for the singing, but stayed for the dancing

Damita with that 360 spin move👊👊

Now that’s how you dance to James Brown song She’s killing it you go girl

I love that James brown scream 😂😂😂🤣

Damita with that spin move....AWESOME!!!

Wow, one bad chica 🧡

A lot of the dancers explained that the famous guest would usually be looking for certain dancers because they had been watching the show just like everyone else and admired how the danced and wanted specific dancers included in their shows. The dancers admitted the didn’t get paid money but had so many opportunities just being seen on the show it was worth it. So I’m sure James knew who she was already and was happy to groove with Damita Jo!

This clip keeps seriously saving my life. I watch it when nothing else will help Damita NEVER LETS ME DOWN

James and his band were totally enthralled with the young lady and her sensational dance moves ♥️, and rightly so cause she was gittin it.

SHE WAS A LEGEND TO US WHO HAD A TV IN THE HOUSE BACK THEN OR A PHONE TO SAY SOUL TRAINS ON THE THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED NOW

Same with me... It's interesting seeing all these old performers in their prime... The moves are crazy CRINGE for today... But ya gotta start somewhere. Of course a lot of these moves trace back to 20s and 30s clubs in the deep south.

The Godfather. Mr. Super Dynamite. The hardest working man in show business.

Now that's soul sister number 1#

James realized at the beginning when Damita came up onto the stage that she could dance, and therefore, he didn't have to break a sweat for that gig. He just had to sing and enjoy the woman's moves. Pretty much every other performance by James required a shower, a fresh change of clothes, and a trip to the dry cleaners. James wasn't dumb...

That had to have been the first time any dancer had performed "the robot"!

I never get tired of watching the GOD father of Soul James Brown

Damita Jo Freeman is definitely that girl she went on to work with major celebrities in the industry.... In '78 Damita was on Broadway 2 years later she was on the big screen in Private Benjamin then in the television series.....

He should have took her on tour! First hype woman!

Tik Told could NEVER!!!!!!!

She did that ...you right super bad !

I've watched a million times.. All i can say is Black Women are from GOD....

James brown is a bonifide King 👑 of some thing (a movement, a culture,a nation, a genre, a school of thought)... Too influential for years to come

Those people were striving to recreate and reinvent themselves through their music and dance... it became the rebirth of the African culture in the Americas

This pure 🔥 💯

Damita makes my soul happy!

Rip James Brown 🙏🏾❤, Great song and Great dancer of stage with him 💯❤

Me.Freeman zoned alongside James Brown especially at the first break....Respect

So awesome!

They said that James was extremely strict on his band, he would fine them if they were late, off key etc, that’s why it’s pure perfection in the sound; they had to be super on point.

now that girl can dance--to me, most people look stupid but she has the moves for sure!! and jb aint bad either........

Thank You so much for uploading this Fantastic Performance by the Legendary Godfather of Soul Mr. James Brown!!!💓💓💓🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶

Just like Michael, not one wasted move AND.perfection to boot! Amazing as she amazed the King and didn't even have to "Get On The Goodfoot!!". And later in her career, after "pumping up" she does that impossible "split" even with that incredible muscularity. Can I get a witness! Amen!

I love this!

I remember this four years old WOW! She is one Super Bad Sister give me some black skin!!😎😎😎😎😎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nothing will ever again be this cool.

Damn 2002 and still the shit

This was like 71-72 Soultrain just came to L.A. in 71

I watch this so many times and never get tired of watching the best soul music of the 70s. The dancers and the artists were excellent performers. The best era of my life.❤❤❤

Mr Brown' smile is priceless!
