"I Feel Bad!"

One of the greatest performances of all time. He schooled Mick on the moves.

Who’s the hardest working man in music?

The day after Newt Gingrich and the First 100 Days Congress was elected, I remember driving with my wife to lunch as Rush Limbaugh played “I Feel Good” on his show. He was in a great mood.

Miss him.

A great performance!!!

Got to see him in Memphis on the riverfront during the Memphis in May Bluesfest.

The crowd went wild during Livin’ In America.

Funny! Just last week the lyric "I feel good!" came to mind - good circumstances. - I figured it was James Brown but it didn't take long to find it was "I Got You".

I take various versions of great songs and put them in "My Favorites" YouTube folder like "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen - they don't have to be the original artist and a lot of times they're can be much better. Guaranteed good music.

The little lady sticks to the original performer, original version and complains if its not the original Elvis, Beatles, etc. version. Sigh.

This live version of "I Got You", I saved for the performance and the backup performers although if they were singing I'd have to watch it again to check. Entertaining version. Shaking your booty comes to mind for some reason.

"I Got You - James Brown"

Probably the original recorded version with lyrics at least according to my memory from long ago:

"I Got You"

T.A.M.I was not a television show. It was shown in theaters. I have an original poster framed and in my basement.

I’m obviously in the minority, but I find James Brown’s performance in TAMI the height of Drama-Queen behavior.

I remember when Esquire (remember THAT magazine?) would have annual Dubious Achievement Awards.

One time, James Brown got a recognition for reducing r&b to its basics and then reducing it some more!!

I still have his songs on my Tidal r&b playlist. Great stuff. “Living in America,” “Hot Pants” and more. There’s also some cool recordings of his back-up band, the JB’s.
