I got mad love for James Brown!! I just wanna clarify something for all those watching this. The cat that wrote this song, Bobby Hebb, was from Nashville Tennessee. Not Memphis! I love you though Memphis!! Best damn bar-b-que in the world!!!!

JB's version blows Marvin's out of the water! He is so incredible.

alright you got a good point as well. if james did do those things you mentioned, then yeah he did cross the line, but i still believe he has a good character and we all make mistakes. however, one thing im sure we can agree on is that james brown is an amazing singer!

You have a point there eritreangurrl, but I said that he "seamed to have been a real scumbag" I diden't actually say that I was certain of that he was. I agree with you that no ones perfect, but somewhere you have to drawe a line between whats acceptable and whats not. That's one of those fundamental things that our democratic sociaty is based on, otherwise we would have total anarchy.

well, your acting like he's the only person in the world whos ever done drugs. of course james brown isnt perfect like we all are, but i wouldnt consider him a "scumbag", reading his autobiography really opens up what kind of person he really is. dont just judge him based on a few things that he did and probably regrets. oh and plus..I LUV THIS VIDEO! =]
