James Brown’s signature cape routine. His famous stint originated when he was only five years old and went to church regularly with his family. The bishop, Charles Manuel “Sweet Daddy” Grace, often wore a cape that James Brown was drawn to. The cape stuck with him and became a staple of his performances. #LivePerformance | James Brown

Led by the brass section of the Famous Flames, the hypnotic "Out Of Sight" already prefigures urban syncopations, whether funk, rap or afrobeat. "I Got You (I Feel Good)" raises the temperature a few degrees with choreography that seriously borders on perfection. Watch the full concert here: https://bit.ly/3iEJyUc | Qwest TV | Facebook
