James Brown To Boogie In Beirut

Now that he's a free man, James Brown is taking his show on the road. The Godfather of Soul will perform his infamous dance moves Aug. 30 in Beirut, Lebanon, making him the first American entertainer to hit a stage in that country since the U.S. government recently lifted a ban on travel to Lebanon.

Brown will then jet over to Moscow Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. He will play two concerts at the Kremlin Palace to mark the cities 850th Anniversary. (AB)
