RIP James Brown

One of my favorites. He never disappointed his audience, even dancing out of prison when released. He was also a good Republican...

 

He was quite a showman that's for sure. Note in the video how lame the white kids are dancing!

RIP.

Terry, JB had nothing on me in my teens and early 20s. Back then when it came to dancing I was a black man trapped in a white man's body. Over time, the black man within escaped and the rythm was gone. 8)

 

You mean you were that Sid? I remember you from Soul Train!! But until now I never made the connection!

 

I wasn't on So-o-o-o-o-u-l Train, but I was on American Bandstand. 8)

 

Excerpt from the Baker Chronicles...

"Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin' on the porch with my family, singin' and dancin' down in Mississippi. "

Opening scene from "The Jerk." One of my all time favorite movies, George. That should tell you something about my sense of humor. :lol:

 

Sid when he was still a black teenager, he had moves.

 

LOL! Can't be me. His nose is too small. :lol:

 

"The Godfather of Soul"

There is no higher accolade for James Brown. God love you.

 

Any truth to the rumor his last words were "I feel good!"
