Are you ready for some Super Brother Music for the Soul? Yes? How fortuitous! We just happen to have 45 minutes worth of James Brown Soul Train appearances from the early-to-mid-’70s to share. Get down! It’s worth noting that Brown’s band, the JBs, were the only ones in the history of the show who host Don Cornelius trusted to play live. The Godfather of Soul ran a tight ship, fining band members for sour notes and untidy costumes, and it shows. The dance show’s stage was tight, but the performances here are even tighter, as lean and mean as those funkadelicCurtis Gibson ensembles! If your New Year’s Eve plans pale in comparison with the playlist below, cancel them and stay in. Feel good. So good. We got you.
