00:00Bellas, I'm ready to do my thing.
00:01Can I count it off?
00:03One, two, three, four.
00:08If you love music that speaks to your soul,
00:12James Brown was doing it.
00:16His music never spoke to an age, his music spoke to a spirit.
00:19The spirit to be free.
00:23Every record you've got in your collection, every download you've got,
00:26is influenced by James Brown.
00:31What exactly do you call your style of music?
00:35I call it James Brown music.
00:38Because it's so far ahead of its time.
00:41Ladies and gentlemen, James Brown!
00:43Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I got the new, I got the new, I got the
00:49new.
00:50James Brown was the first dance music.
00:54When I first saw James Brown, I copied his moves straight away.
00:57I couldn't even do them.
00:59I just did my versions.
01:01Tonight, tonight, I got the new.
01:05The feeling behind music is what drove James Brown.
01:09What's wrong, Maceo?
01:10You can't play that like you told us.
01:11It doesn't work musically.
01:13Does it sound good?
01:13Yeah.
01:14Does it feel good?
01:15Yeah, yeah.
01:15If it sound good and it feel good, then it's musical.
01:21His whole thing was, this is my sound.
01:24That is a trailblazer.
01:27You're entering a game here where the rules are already set.
01:29He found something that had never been done before.
01:33I am the show.
01:34So good.
01:35I'm going to be the business, too.
01:44Man's a genius.
01:45And he's taking us with him.
01:48James Brown's music, you feel it.
01:53You realize that the groove is the most powerful message of it.
01:57I feel like he's a godfather.
02:02He's immortal.
02:06Everybody ready?
02:06Get up, man.
02:07Get up, man.
02:07Get up, man.
02:08Get up, man.
