Brilliant documentary on an entertainment genius
Brilliant documentary on an entertainment genius.The story of James Brown, singer, songwriter and showman extraordinaire. From his life growing up in abject poverty, to his rise to fame and his influence on music.
Wonderfully made. Contains some rare footage of James Brown concerts and you can feel the dynamism of his performance and sheer exuberance of the show. Could there ever have been someone with a greater stage presence?
Some quite illuminating interviews from people who he worked with – former band members mostly – and people he influenced. Not your usual empty, fawning interviews but genuine, candid, well thought- out, insightful interviews with people who know what they are talking about.
Not just about the music. Shows his work for the civil rights movement and in the black community. Demonstrates well the high regard to which he was held in those groups.
Fantastic.
Fantastic!!
A must see for any James Brown fan. And a great introduction to anyone wanting to know more of him.It well illustrates the drive and originality of this musician. Certainly one of the greats of the 20th century. An innovator whose influence can be directly seen on Prince and Michael Jackson. And as the documentary well shows – an unbelievable tyrant to his band- members.
A lot of interesting interviews and revelations – and WOW performances in this documentary. Fasten your seat belts – the man could move!! Also some very worthwhile special features.
