James Brown movie

[tubenit]

Saw the James Brown movie  "Get On Up" this wkend.  Not a very pleasant movie, but incredibly gifted job by the actor (Chadwick Boseman) playing James Brown.  There were some pretty hard scenes in the show particularly in his childhood.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie where someone played another person and looked, moved, acted, sang &  talked like the person they were impersonating.  The singing and dancing was totally phenomenol.

I saw James Brown live  in the fall of '68 in Shreveport, La.  Fabulous show and remarkable energy that he had.

I thought this was a very interesting version of "Man's World" by the Godfather of Soul & Pavoratti.

Well they called him 'the hardest working man in show business.'

'It's a man's world' is my favorite JB song.

I kind of liked Hot Tub, done by Eddie Murphy doing James Brown!

Seriously, what a performer/musician.  One of the greats!  The guy had no ankles!  I still don't know how he danced like that!
