Super Awesome...
Ive never seen these..
Interesting to note How Prince worked the move and perfected it..
James looks absolutlely clumsy no offense ...just noticing how hard Prince worked at everything...
when Prince does the splits it looks effortless.
watching James... well I can practically feel his bone s crack | |

James kept it up even when he got older. You don't get to be the GODFATHER OF SOUL for nothing. Brand new boogie without the hero. | |

The last two are from his “Rumble In The Jungle” gig in Zaire. I think that he would have been in his early forties. It isn't bad!

James Brown was older and a mess at the time, compared to his prime when he was super fit and looked like an athlete. He was in his mid thirties when he "invented" funk as we know it. He was born in 1933. This video is from 1974. He must have been 41 or something? My Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/tundrah | |

Saw JB at the old Lone Star in NYC in the mid 80's. He did most of the show from on top of the bar. Absolutely killed it in a sparkly blue jumpsuit open to his navel. He llooked amazing. Brand new boogie without the hero. | |

Others will take up the mantle in some form or another. Beck deserves a 5 or 6 for effort at least:

Hi Dini. We're not. Someone mentioned Charlie Chaplin earlier. Bowie has already been mentioned, but your post is completely valid. Bowie was clearly an important conceptual influence – his androgyny, his shifting persona, his theatricality etc. | |

Here's a different hairstyle on young Mattie Shaw, the jazz singer. I would not have guessed that this was she, but according to a documentary, History of Prince in Minnesota, this is Prince's mother. It's ironic that, for weeks, no one thought to include her in this thread on "The Makings of Prince," when chances are, Prince inherited the gift of song from his mother. | |

Love that younger days photo Fly! Somebody said one of those other photos was her twin in another thread. Or did I get that wrong? Brand new boogie without the hero. | |
