The ESSENTIAL Live James Brown

1/10/07, 12:00 pm EST

James BrownLadies and gentlemen! The Godfather of Soul; Mr. Please, Please, Please; The Hardest Working Man in Show Business; Soul Brother Number One…has left the building. But despite James Brown’s death on Christmas morning, his spectacular body of work lives on, right here, in video footage of his incomparable stage performances. He was so superbad on stage that the Rolling Stones were reportedly terrified to follow his 1964 breakout performance on the iconic ‘60s TV special The T.A.M.I. Show. “Nobody could follow me,” he said afterward. Check out these iconic clips that clearly document how Mr. Dynamite dominated the stage through the five decades of his unparalleled career.

I liked him better when he played for the Clevelend Browns.

Nice to see Rolling Stone paying their respects to a man frequently referred to as the most important artist of the century. His influence was felt in almost every genre. He was a dynamic performer, I had the fortune to see him several times. I thought I’d be seeing him again for a few more years too. May he rest in peace.

Kudos to Rolling Stone for paying tribute to The Hardest Working Man In Show Business by putting him on its cover.
RIP JB. You were truly one bad mutha…

Nobody but KISS is better than James Brown. I had the chance to go see him for free at the Greenwood College, and I couldn`t go. Ironman, if you`re crazy enough to put down the Godfather you`re crazier than what you said about KISS. We will all miss James Brown as much as we miss Sabbath if not even more.
