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.

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.

Roger Catlin 27 Oct 2014

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

Alessandra Stanley 27 Oct 2014

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

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.

While the 2014 documentary Mr. Dynamite: the Rise Of James Brown claims to explore Brown's beginnings in its title, it actually goes much further.
