70s James is goat but the band he had in the 60s was too tight

this is now a James Brown appreciation thread

The early s*** was too good lol. My bro still makes fun of me for literally going when we saw him and he did Try Me

60's work a blindspot for me ngl

Stirring s*** up doesnt have to be led by a male and it doesnt have to be r&b in the vein youre describing

What Frank did with CO in '12 was pretty successful in creating the kind of impact youre talking about. But it's been a while

That is the song where he invented funk

You haven't even done Live At The Apollo?

dw its been in the queue

I need to get on that

Anderson Paak is James Brown incarnate

Half a Stevie too tho

You need to listen to more music

You make a good point about that. It could be any genre but I focused on R&B considering it's impact and influence rn is kind of getting glossed over with other genres with a male presence taking precedence( Hip Hop, Rock, and Afrobeats)

who can match browns stage presence tho

cmon

they fell hard for that Silk Sonic slop

Prince was perhaps the closest.
And Betty Davis.

Most definitely

Add some Smokey Robinson in there too

Does he not take from James Brown heavily?

You don’t hear it?

No one

Been jamming alot of Betty and yeah she was definitely the female James

He’s not an impressionable personality tbh

Great vibe tho
