The Godfather of Soul, The Hardest Working Man in Show Business, Mr. Dynamite, Soul Brother #1, James Brown was too brilliant a performer to have just one nickname. His singular focus on rhythm revolutionized popular music, and his influence is still being felt today. Brown’s live shows were legendary, and none more so than his 1960s concerts at Harlem’s famous Apollo Theatre. Don’t miss this unique evening of rare concert films featuring Brown performing his show-stopping #1 songs at the peak of his powers, and driving the Apollo crowd wild. His showmanship and power over an audience is amazing to behold. With his incomparable band, The Famous Flames, Brown performs his unforgettable soul classics, including Please, Please, Please, I Got You, Soul Power, Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag, I Feel Good, It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World, Try Me, Sex Machine, Super Bad, and more! As an extra bonus, the show will also include several unseen-in-years television shows and promotional films featuring the one and only James Brown!

The program will run approximately 90 mins.
