An mp3 audio of the entire concert can be heard here: http://streams.wgbh.org/online/play.php?xml=blue/brown_james.xml&template=wgbh_audio
Listen to Mr. Brown's speech right after he sings "If I Ruled The World" near the beginning of the concert and contrast his views to those of the so-called black leaders of today.
The documentary airs Saturday, April 5, at 9:00pm ET.

Why does WGBH Boston supress this video?

James Brown also sang “I don’t want nobody to give me nothing, open up the door, I’ll get it myself” (and that is the title).

My favorite song, and the theme song of the Conservative viewpoint!

Nice Albert King reference in your screenname.
I just purchased Hip-O-Select's compilation of James Brown's singles from 1967 -1969, and it features the Prime Minister Of The New Super Heavy Heavy Funk's patriotic paean to the USA "America Is My Home (Pts. 1 & 2)."
Despite his faults, James Brown's heart was in the right place and he was an incredible artist.

He had one song that really drove me nuts.
Say it loud... I’M BLACK AND I’M PROUD.
That song was heard all over Ft. Polk in 69. I heard that song so much that it ran in my brain like a permanent loop.
I bet I was then only white guy who would be ditty popping over to the PX singing that crazy song. It just wouldn’t go away.
Gotta go take some meds. It’s doing it again.

Is he still in his bed in a cold room in his mansion or did they finally bury him?
Very Funky Town in the room, I’m sure.

Thanks for posting. Unlike the Obamas, James Brown, who experienced real bigotry, loved America.
I saw him perform in Maryland around 1969. Besides the amazing show, I remember him giving a heartfelt plea to the kids to stay in school.

Even when I saw him around 2002, he was urging kids to stay in school (and I think he even mentioned a cause that he supported).
