LEGENDS IN CONCERT - JAMES BROWN: LIVE AT CHASTAIN PARK
This fabulous DVD shows the great performer at the top of his career performing at Chastain Park, singing such timeless classics as Papa's Got A Brand New Bag and I Feel Good. Life, however, hasn't always been so good for the musician. James Brown, it must be said, has had a very varied life! Born in South Carolina in 1933, Brown's first step into adulthood were halted when, at the age of 16 he took part in a robbery and was arrested. He received a sentence of 8-16 years hard labour, although he served only a short period. Arguably the only good to come from his brief spell in prison was meeting local man Bobby Byrd in a baseball match which led to their performing in various clubs in Taccoa; a chance meeting that gave birth to his career.
In 1955 he joined the "Famous Flames" and attracted representatives of King Records and subsequently released Please, Please, Please that would become a top ten R&B hit. There followed many chartbound releases selling in excess of 100 million worldwide; but trouble seemed to stalk Brown as the IRS cornered him in the 70s demanding unpaid taxes of a colossal $4.5 million! Additionally he was involved in a major radio scandal and the break-up of his marriage. But to top all of these disastrous events, there was still to come the untimely death of his son, Teddy in a car accident: all this within the 70s - a truly desperate decade!
But whatever life has thrown at James Brown he has definitely earned the soubriquet of "living legend" - he is simply an unparalleled talent.

Born the seventh son of a seventh son in 1912 Pennsylvania, Pierino Roland Como was considered to have a lucky star shining above him, a belief that time would prove correct. His career path was set from an early age although not in the direction he was later to find. For him the brightest light on the High Street was a barbers shop window. But his affair with hair was cut short and in his late teens his talent for singing surfaced when he was offered a spot in the Freddie Carlone Orchestra, touring the Midwest states. His ultimate goal now realised Perry went on to sell over 100million records worldwide over six decades, with hits such as 'Hey Good Looking' and 'Papa Loves Mambo' both performed here in front of the cameras and presented on this fabulous DVD compilation.

Born on 23rd September 1943 in Madrid to eminent physician Julio Snr and wife Maria. It could be claimed that Julio Jnr had the best start in life; he had the best of schooling and studied law as a means to following his ambition to becoming a career diplomat. But he was also a superb athlete with a natural flair for football, and as time would tell it was the call of the stadium rather than the political arena that finally won the day. Such was his footballing potential he was eventually signed up by Real Madrid as a goalkeeper; this ambition realised he believed his future was secure until fate dealt him a cruel blow when he was involved in a car accident and partially paralysed, leaving him with a two year battle to learn to walk again.
It was whilst recuperating he became interested in music and showed yet again that he possessed a natural talent by winning at the 1968 Sony Festival in Madrid singing 'La Vida Sigure Igual'. This unexpected introduction to the world's stage was but a short step to world-wide fame.
In our fabulous DVD we show Julio performing in a sensational 1981 production with the accompaniment of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra at the Sultans Pool in Jerusalem. The scene is one of magic, the voice one of pure gold - an altogether exceptional viewing and listening experience.
