I was just thinking about this the other day. It's good to see the industry starting to focus on the great black musicians that have greatly influenced American music during the last century. James Brown is just as essential as the Beatles or Elvis and he deserves a biopic that details his contributions. He has his faults like all of us, but the man is a fucking genius and has inspired generations of musicians/entertainers since his debut. | |

I think it's cool to acknowledge folks like James Brown while they're still here to see it. | |

nothing but god nothing but god this seems promising. who do yall think should play jb? In the New York Times article James Brown is quoted saying "I'd like LeVar Burton to play me... He was magnificent in "Roots"." I think it's very hard to find somebody for that role. But JB should be part of the movie, too. At the end for example playing/being himself, or ath beginning introducing the movie. Don't know... Get sexy sex, get funky at... The ORANGE Park - Funky President, people, it's bad! |

Don't know... yea i read that, but i just dont see it. i saw some of roots and yea levar was good, but he looks nothin like jb, and can he even dance? the more i think about it the more i lean toward diamondpearl1's idea: a documentary Yesterday is dead...tomorrow hasnt arrived yet....i have just ONE day...
