James Brown Teaches You To Dance
Some funky YouTube that’ll get you groovin’ for the weekend!
This clip is a short, late 70’s video of James Brown demonstrating some dances, including the camel walk, boogaloo, mashed potato and the best version of the robot I’ve ever seen. Way to go JB! Even though late 70’s James Brown wasn’t classic James Brown, he could still dance like a demon and still had a few great grooves and songs, not to mention the fact that during the seventies one of his many self-penned nicknames was ‘Minister Of The New New Super Heavy Funk’. What a genius!
The song in the background of the clip is ‘If You Don’t Give A Doggone About It’, from the 1977 album ‘Mutha’s Nature’. Oh, and dig James’s awesome threads! Pretty hip stuff, and remember that he’s in his mid forties here - you can see a little paunch starting to happen already. Classic, awesome stuff.
