Yeah, and not to mention,that's not a young JB, in 77 he was at the good 'ol age of 44.

Here is what the late Bobby Byrd had to say on James' dancing skills...


In a booklet that accompanied the CD collection, ''James Brown - Star Time,'' long-time friend and performer Bobby Byrd said: ''The dancing y'all seen later on ain't nothing to what he used to do back then. James could stand flat-footed and flip over into a split. He'd tumble, too, over and over like in gymnastics. We'd say, 'What's wrong with you? When it's time to record, you'll be done killed yourself.''


Bobby Byrd, one of the original Famous Flames (which became James Brown and the Famous Flames), says that Mr. Brown used to do back flips off a piano into a split when he was in his early twenties around 1956-5
