I saw him in the late 70's, the...Uh, no he didn't. I saw him in the late 70's, then again right after he got out of prison, then two years before he died. There was a serious diminishment each time, and at no time did he match his late 60's/early 70's peak. <BR/><BR/>However, except for the last performance there were always transendent moments, which is natural given that he was the minister of super heavy funk. <BR/><BR/>Part of the problem was his last band, the Soul Generals, who sucked. Yeah, sucked. It was a tragedy he never hooked back up with with the Flames or the JBs. <BR/><BR/>Ooh, and that last performance, he gave an insane about of time to Tami Rae, who did a Vegas-tacky Janis Joplin imitation, as if anyone in the audience even knew who she was (Janis and Tami). <BR/><BR/>All that said, I love this dancing clip. I grew up knowing 50 guys who looked like that. James both influenced and reflected his audience. And he was always a MAN. What performer can you say that about today?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-3542974783528387272008-10-27T05:56:00.000-07:002008-10-27T05:56:00.000-07:00i had the honor of seeing james brown two years be...i had the honor of seeing james brown two years before he died. he was GREAT. i was thrilled. still had the moves and the voice and everything.mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00631814857608730236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-60143586908837413812008-10-27T05:49:00.000-07:002008-10-27T05:49:00.000-07:00Somebody beat me to it but that does look like Edd...Somebody beat me to it but that does look like Eddie Griffin.
