SUMMARY:
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.
