James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American singer, dancer and musician. The central progenitor of funk music and a major figure of 20th-century music, he is referred to by various nicknames, among them "the Hardest-Working Man in Show Business", "Godfather of Soul", "Mr. Dynamite", and "Soul Brother No. 1".

ABOUT James Brown (at the time of the concert)
It would be hard to find to find someone at The North Sea Jazz Festival who doesn’t know James Brown. Even his title of honour The Godfather of Soul is common knowledge. Not everybody knows, though, that the man had 114 songs in the Billboard R&B Singles Charts. 94 of these singles made it to the Hot 100 and 17 claimed the top position. Not bad for a formerly poor, black boy. In 1965 he had his first pop hit with Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag and in the ten years to follow he scored hit after hit with Sex Machine as the undeniable greatest. Some more figures. During the James Brown Revues the dancing singer lost seven pounds per night. Brown is in his seventies now, but his shows are still guaranteed to be real happenings.

The great Jeff Watkins the world's best saxophonist ....
Just absolutely incredible what a guy 🎷
And James Brown, there will never be another quite like him 🙏

[thebodybeatdownDiTi]

Literally EVERYONE on that stage is GOAT lol..Just plain perfection.

[djcoolcliff]

There will never be another Mr Brown! Many tried but there is only one James Brown!!!! RIP!!!!

[malakia.christina]

I was told that my great grandmother had the opportunity to see this man live, and that she said that was best concert she’s ever been to in her life! RIP to my great-g’ma and JB 🕊️

I worked as the local promoter’s production head for James’ show back in 2005. The vibe was just amazing. It’s nuts.

The intro and outro is just so dramatic. He did not just walk off the stage but rather put on a ‘dramatic’ show that he was reluctant to leave.

Danny is quite a character too. When chatting with him it reminded me of watching Fat Albert & the Cosby Kids. I believe he also handles James’ wardrobe.

Sad that a great legendary performer is no longer with us.

James Brown was the greatest ever! I'm so glad we have these videos. ❤

[Laslow-Blackburn-Brelinsky]

We had a rare opportunity to watch this brilliant soul band led by the Great James Brown. He was a great perfectionist, and demanded the same from his musicians, he literally trained them like soldiers, and his band was one of the best ever. And that's why we have this great music and incredibly professional performances! Watch how you need to perform, people! Listen to real music! Enjoy the energy of the Great Composer and his unsurpassed musicians! It WON'T HAPPEN again! God bless each of them, rest in peace James, thank you for this gift for us!!❤

I still regret to this day never having seen him live in concert. I met Billy Cobham, years ago and he said playing with James was an amazing experience. When I asked him why he left, he said because I could not afford working for him anymore. The fines added up according to Billy.

[EdwinHeida]

This was incredible! Hard to imagine he passed away two years later, in 2006. I wish I could have been there, what an awesome concert. Glad we still have all this material to watch and listen to.

07-04-2024, I keep listening to James Brown. From time to time, when I need to feel adrenaline I watch a concert by the master of funk, to continue knowing what RHYTHM is, the rhythm of funk, which for me is the best.

[BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

Consummate Band Leader, Musician, Singer-Songwriter, Performer Extraordinaire 👏🏿👏🏿👌🏿👌🏿👊🏿🖤

[Viralreggae]

To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.

[PeterRoloff]

James Brown was the king of sound, king of dance, super, super, super legend!! Applause for the King!

[alexdesslin]

exceptionnel ! le génie à l'état pur ! qui pourra un jour se mesurer au génie musical de Mr JAMES BROWN ??

[TimingNL]

such an incredible timeless soul performance. I will still play and watch it in the next century and after.
I hope one day, YouTube will decide to no more interrupt such shows with irritating ads every 5 minutes that are being played at twice the volume.
Ciao from Italy and cheers

[HenriqueTrabach]

Isso é um Show de arte!!! Tenho hoje 60 anos de idade.quando tinha 15 anos era muito bom dançar essas músicas.hoje é só funk com palavrões.se o pessoal do funk soubessem a força de suas batidas contagiantes, n fariam melodias com palavrões.

[David.]

No artist has been sampled more than James Brown.

[SamuelNewsome-ne]

They are still sampling his music and making millions. The king of soul!
