UPDATE: There is a James Brown documentary: SAY IT LOUD! Premiering on Feb. 18 and 19. The four-hour documentary will be broadcast 2 hrs on the 18th and 2hrs on the 19th on A&E Network.

This was supposed to come out last year on May 3, JB.s birthday. Was beginning to think it was scrapped. I can't wait to see never-before-seen footage.

Would love to see video from the the concert "Live In Augusta, Ga" at the Bell Auditorium. Eight days to go!

Did anyone see the JB Documentary "SAY IT LOUD"? I thought it was excellent!

I just wished it would have paid homage to the musicians who worked with him from the early 60s to 2006.

Danny Ray (over 20 years with JB) should have had an honorable mention at least. Not here or in the "GET ON UP" movie.

Mr. Brown was the prime source for the masterpieces created, but people like Maceo, Fred, Clyde, Charles (Sherrell), and others, had a hand in helping create them also.

I enjoyed quite a few clips that I, 've never seen or seen in bad quality. I wonder if there are any concerts from 1969 through 1975 that have not been released.

There was a clip from "IN CONCERT" TV show where JB and the band set the place on fire. The little clips that are on YouTube are grainy and blurry.

Also, JB performed live with the band on his "FUTURE SHOCK" TV show. Hopefully, that episode will be available shortly.

'"King Heroin" is an anti-drug song by James Brown, David Matthews, Manny Rosen and Charles Bobbit. Brown recorded this poem set to music at a studio in New York with session musicians in January 1972 and released it as a single in March. It was his fifth single for Polydor Records and reached number six on the U.S. Hot Soul Singles chart and number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring. The song was included on Brown's 1972 album There It Is.'

One of me faves... and very much underrated.
