I never got to see him live, but I had some friends in high school that saw him perform circa 1985. James Brown – Living in America was still on the charts, and I guess he performed the song 3-4 times during the show. Before going into the song for a second time, he exclaimed “I wanna hear that again!” and the band started back up.

Everyone that saw the show said it was among the best shows they ever saw, even if half of the tunes played were the one song.

Rob Treynor about James Brown.

The first time I heard James brown’s music (I was 13 or 14) I felt offended by his texts. Today it is evident that he expressed the feelings of a whole generation.
