Got to seen James Brown once about 20 years ago. I even got to see him and the band warm up before the show. Got to see JB himself verbally tear into that incarnation of the JBs.
Funking Phenomenal!
dude was playin the drums and I thought
"Damn thats funky"
then James stopped him and said
"NO NO NO You need to hibba hoobba balkdfjasldjkasdl;fjadl;kfjasdl"
He took the sticks from the dude, laid it down for drummer to repeat and then I said
"HOLY SHIT NOW THATS FUNKY"
Took my honkey ass to a level a funk I didn’t know was there!
Have you ever heard James Brown Live in Paris 1971? Holy shit the funkiest moment in the history of funk is during the closing and they do Get Up and Get into and then they flow right into Soul Power and then Get Up reprise. Them French Funkers didn’t know what hit them either. They were all like
"We wee wee ….we should go see the James Brown"
"Hmm maybe not Jean"
and then BAM the funk landed on they assessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
and they said
“ HELL FUNK YEAH”
Everybody over there
GET ON UP
Everybody over there
GET INTO IT
EVERYBODY OVER THERE
GET INVOLVED GET INVOLVED
GET INVOLVED GET INVOLVED
HIT ME!
Gonna Jump back, kiss myself!
The Godfather made you a funk you can’t refuse!
Be good to eachother
