Waching daily Dec 1 2017

Hi,

No no.. Forget the "moonwalk" of Michael Jackson

Jagger's posturing ...

The full slip of Prince ...

They all stealed everything to James Brown

who could have answered them ...

Yes, it's a single done in 65

but it will be released on the album the same name the following year.

And it's in 53 that he joined the "Famous Flames".

You know, at this period, Brown, he's still coming out of jail.

He's just a kid, He had been arrested for armed robbery.

Must say that the guy, he partly raised in his aunt's brothel.

And brothel in which he played still the beaters.

That did not stop him to be a convinced Republican,

nor even to collaborate in the countryside of Richard Nixon.

(It may be from there, by the way, that comes his love of recordings?)

At the moment the song comes out,

James Brown, it's already a f*cking secure value in live.

And he is only 30 years old.

Unlike the majority of his titles at this time,

which was written in a group,

that one, he made it alone..

Except that in 62, at the time of the record,

the label asks him to be only producer.

So it's the young Yvonne Fair who will record "I Found You".

[* Extrait *]

(Commercial failure!)

It will be necessary to wait 65 for "The Godfather of Soul" finally takes its revenge.

So for that, he will bring back several things:

There are his gospel roots,

the rock'n roll freshly appeared

and then, he'll put some blues

He's going to jazz up there.

And then, there are still 4 trumpets,

There are 5 saxophones!

Including Maceo Parker!

And it's completely new at the time.

We are still in full Beatles mania!

And that will be the first stone of funk.

In this song, James Brown will insist on the 1st time

[ * James Brown Scream ! *]

It will even become one of its trademarks.

We will call this time "The One".

Wait, I'll put the context back.

Malcom X has just been shot.

And James Brown...

Under cover of a love story that he tells,

with all the racial tensions there is at the time ...

yells his pride of being black.

[* Meow *]

On the singing side,

James always overcame Little Richard.

One of the pioneers of rock.

By the way, when you listen to the 2, you still see great similarities.

In concert, Brown, he is a tyrant!

He even fines his musicians when they make false notes.

And, most importantly, he moves at least with 30 people,

Are there costumers ...

There are valets ...

There are 2 hairdressers ...

Why 2 hairdressers?

It is so that her hair remains concrete ...

so that she can resist a little to his elastic dance.

So, the great anecdote ...

The one that makes me scream with laughter!

It is that in 97, it is programmed by the "Vieilles Charrues" festival .

Oh yes, but he wants to travel alone without his musicians.

Ah yes, but this idiot, he is mistaken for another festival!

he's going to Deauville!

Well, how do we do it?

Hey hey, we take a cab

We are bypass all the red lights for 400 km.

The guy, he has arrived on stage stack at the moment

where the organizers were canceling the concert ...

We often forget to say his influence on hip-hop.

There are of course the samples,

But there is especially the clothes bling-bling!

And for a guy who is dressed all year long like a spruce tree,

It's still stupid...

... to dead the day of Christmas!

James Brown

The guy...

he would have been French,

he would have called himself "Jean Marron" ?!
