I’m an agnostic on a good day. But if there were a church this lively, I’d be there every Sunday. Bank on it.

Fun fact: This performance by James Brown was one of the two only performances in the movie that was recorded as it happened rather than previously being recorded in a studio and then played back (the other being John Lee Hooker's song). The reason was that James, being the energetic legend he was, didn't manage to perform the song the same way twice. Goes to show the passion and authenticity he put into it

Aretha Franklin had the same problem. She’s a live performer, so sing different every time. They had to use clever editing to make it look good. FYI

Yes! Please do not do a remake😂

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Once you realize how much of a beautiful musical celebration this movie is, you have reached enlightenment.

There is no way possible to watch this and not get into a good mood!

RIP James Brown & Aretha Franklin ❤️🙏 The gods of gospel, blues, funk and soul !!

Beautifully written, but Mr. Brown hated the blues.

If praising God doesn't feel like this... then you best find yourself a new church!

I have been to a Church Of God In Christ and they get down this way it's awesome.

Totally agree , Even being 40 laters , this film delivers quite a few message , subtly Through the comedy . There is history , with legendary performers , James Brown , Ray Charles , Cab Callaway Ms Franklin , The " red necks " and the Blues Brother switching to Raw Hide theme to calm down the crowd ,the Nuns , the Church Service , Squashing the Nazis The Choreography , And I don't think the film won any Academy Awards ( Oscars ) .I could be wrong but .. The comedy is terrific , it could be a documentary. it's could also political , satirical in a way .

As a young man after watching and listening to this movie it made me realize that I don't know anything about music. It opened up my breath of what I used to find as great. Added note - god bless you godfather of soul.

the dancers are awesome!

Extraordinary job in becoming the Soul Brother, original James Brown Music is Generously heard through Out the Movie Soundtrack, It is almost a Mini Concert in Retrospect, James Brown is no Saint, but He is of good intention and so enthrawling that in ones heart could forgive his failings.

He does ONE SONG in the soundtrack. What are you talking about "Generously heard"? Are you mistaking him with Ray Charles or John Lee Hooker? No idea what you're talking about.

The greatest movie, in our opinion! We go to our church like this, in our neighborhood here in Oakland, California, every Sunday! Amazing! Long live the memories of John & James! xoxo The Clarences (robert, erin & leslie)

mooiste stuk van deze film,gewoon James Brown op zijn best.

I love this movie! Watched 50 times. :D

Brother James!

I start every morning with this psalm. .. :)

I've always joked that if I went to a Black church growing up, I might've actually turned out Christian.

let us all go back to the Old Landmark. Amen.

John Belushi is sorely missed..... =[

Epic movie!!!!!! ❤️

I remember when i was around 14 and i discovered this movie i already was a big fan of old music thanks to my dad.... At my school we had Fridays where we used to bring a movie and watch it every friday and just relax :) I took this movie every friday until i left the school a year later because everyone in my class were listening to techno and terrible rap music so i wanted to introduce them to what i myself considered REAL music played by actual musicians with instruments... But they rejected it every time... I feel sorry for them today... Its kinda like the Elwood Speech in Blues brothers 2000 :)

I'm sorry my mistake the church is on the corner of 91st and Burley one block over from Brandon. Pictures on the church's website show the inside looking just like the movie, although the isle was much wider for dancing and flippin. When I first saw that in the movie I was kind of offended. It seemed to highlight some kind of buffoonery associated with black churches in the eyes of white people who have no idea about "catching the spirit"
