JB 1976

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

What more is there to say about James Brown? He invented funk, rap and disco. He is the most sampled man in music. His grooves are incredible, universal, innovative and extremely funky. He is a great singer, awesome bandleader, amazing dancer, and toured more and for longer then any other musician ever.

This video was all over the internet when James died last year. It is mid-70’s JB – his band is extremely tight and his mustache is awesome. I once heard that he would fine band members for any hit or move they missed – that probably explains why his band is perfect (aside from being great musicians). Also dig the audience – James had to work to get them out of their seats – how could it be?
