Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown (2014)

James Brown changed the face of American music forever. Abandoned by his parents at an early age, James Brown was a self-made man who became one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, not just through his music, but also as a social activist. Charting his journey from rhythm and blues to funk, MR. DYNAMITE: THE RISE OF JAMES BROWN features rare and previously unseen footage, photographs and interviews, chronicling the musical ascension of "the hardest working man in show business," from his first hit, "Please, Please, Please," in 1956, to his iconic performances at the Apollo Theater, the T.A.M.I. Show, the Paris Olympia and more.

This is a smart, informative and compassionate look at the artist known as the Godfather of Soul, whose music changed America.

Brilliant documentary on an entertainment genius. The story of James Brown, singer, songwriter and showman extraordinaire. From his life growing up in abject poverty, to his rise to fame and his influence on music. Wonderfully made. Contains some rare footage of James Brown concerts and you can feel the dynamism of his performance and sheer exuberance of the show. Could there ever have been someone with a greater stage presence? Some quite illuminating interviews from people who he worked with - former band members mostly - and people he influenced. Not your usual empty, fawning interviews but genuine, candid, well thought-out, insightful interviews with people who know what they are talking about. Not just about the music. Shows his work for the civil rights movement and in the black community. Demonstrates well the high regard to which he was held in those groups. Fantastic.

Fantastic documentary and companion piece to the slightly inferior 'Get On Up' biopic. This doc features the faces and voices of those who 'knew him'. Contributions from Bootsy, Maceo, Fred Wesley and right hand man Emcee Danny Ray who is now requiring subtitles to be understood.

There's a lot see here, including the birth of funk and some candor from the band.

Enjoyed this and after seeing Prince on SNL Saturday, he is in many ways the heir apparent. Brown was neglected as a child which led him to behave the way he did--abusing women, screwing his band out of royalties/pay and endorsing Nixon. Madison people will enjoy the Clyde Stubblefield stuff, Boston folks the footage of Brown's concert after MLK's assassination (includes Mayor Kevin White's comments). Mick Jagger admits he cribbed many of his moves from Brown, Chuck D. et al. pay homage to "Mr. Brown"'s contributions to breakbeats & samples in hip-hop. Good stuff.
