- JAMES BROWN at the 26th Kennedy Center Honors awards ceremony. December 2003. Great show!
Performers paying tribute to James are Dan Aykroyd , Joss Stone, Brian McKnight, Anasthasia and Yolanda Adams. - Hudba
YOLANDA ADAMS always give a show stopper performance. Mr. BROWN felt her positive energy as much as I did! R.I.P. ❤🙏
Yolanda Adams showed them all how it’s done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yolanda never disappoints. God bless Her
I was disappointed with her song choice. This was a tribute the James Brown, not Ray Charles. James Brown had a bunch of classic slow songs.
My family played say it loud I'm
Black and I'm proud I think I was
4 it sound good I started dancing
I've loved James Brown every since
Rest in sweet peace Mr. BROWN
The first singer , Joss Stone , Oh my god , 16 years old , wow , I went and looked her up after seeing this , she is just flat out amazing
Love Joss Stone!
Yolanda tribute gave me chills and tears to my eyes
You could tell James absolutely LOVED Yolanda singing...he was REALLY FEELING IT!!!!
Yes , I agree !!
His reaction to( her stunning, goosebumps, jawdropping performance)....was written all over his face/.... his expressions, brought tears to my eyes😪😔
Ms.Yolanda Adam's is a consummate performer 💫
R.I.P Brother James Brown, " The Godfather of Soul".....😎
@@lindalyte7307 James was feeling that totally he was ready too fly out that chair
So was Carol Burnett! LOL!!!
@@renegaderunner332 I saw Carol Burnett jamming to Sex Machine.
That's what I meant. Sorry!
Christina got James Brown up 👏🏾👏🏾🤣
Yolanda. She did that....
And she's from Houston Texas!? Lol
The best out of all of the amazing singers that honored the Godfather on that night. The way she sung that song, you'd think she was born there as well. Lbvs.The queen did an excellent job singing that song
Man when Yalonda sing you can’t help but feel it,it goes all through you.James even felt it‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
She can sing. Too bad she didn't sing one of his songs. I can understand her not wanting to attempt his brand of funk, but Try Me, Please Please Please or both would have been better.
Well The Anointing was on Sis. Yolanda!!👍🏾✝️💯
God Father of soul that's who he was James Brown the Best who Ever did it,
Yolanda voice is AMAZING!!!
Yolanda Adams..wowwww!!!
Ms.Yolanda Adams.....saved the day/ night🤷🏾♀️ What a Stellar/ Jawdropping Performance👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽( She never disappoints!!) My goodness they also could've gotten, Michael, Prince,Usher ...even NeYo....then leave the finale up to Ms.Adams( referring to his home state of " Georgia") because she most definitely slaaayed it💫💫....Weren't any of them available? I guess not. Anyways this is my first time seeing this🤦🏾♀️...what a let down!!😔
The Godfather....The hardest working man in showbusiness....Brother James Brown..deserved better!!!!
Thank you Ms.Adams.God Bless you🙏🏿🙏🏿.
R.I.P Mr.James Brown🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾

Every time Top of the Pops came on in the seventies I would always be looking for James Brown. Those were the days! Innocent and pure. Love it that adverts still sample his tunes! That's what you call Influence with a CAPITAL I!
James Brown next to Carol Burnette = pretty cool
Excelente homenaje al grandísimo James Brown, que bien Joss Stone, el papá del Soul va ser inolvidable, que gran legado dejó.
Saludos desde Costa Rica.
What a performance from Joss Stone back then, she is one of the most underrated singers of today
God bless Yolanda she saved this. It reminds me of what they did to Berry Gordy this year, if it wasn't for Stevie I would have been confused with who they were trying to honor. RIP James Brown.
JB is the one of a kind. Truly 'Made in USA'.
Perhaps that's why there wasn't an attempt to do his best material.
elvis beatles janis jimy james brown etc sao os pioneiros
Was that Carol Burnett getting her groove on getting funky up there?! LOL!
James didn’t seem impressed by any of their performances until Yolanda step on the scene and wowed him… which was evident of his facial expressions. Yolanda gave him that “feeling!” Watch how he “thanks” her towards the end of her performance.
The Godfather of Soul should have been Honored better than what he had not all bad but come on people
Goose bumps - love Anastasia!
❤James
Thank God For Yolanda Adams seriously she was the only one that truly came there to do a Tribute. The rest were horrible they needed actual performers not half ass ones smh. James Brown Deserved better.
She took that song and churched it up with the choir and did her thing. Maybe they more gospel artist doing these tributes
Mel I hope you got your ears checked
Yolanda made me feel like I was from Georgia
Forever James
Did anyone ever give this man a proper tribute before he died. There aren't many musicians more influential that James Brown. Music sounded like one thing before him and then another after him.
How old are you? BET gave him an excellent tribute in the same year as this, and even Michael Jackson showed up to pay tribute.
@@_dark_170 I was at his 70th Birthday concert party. That wasn't a big deal.
@@_dark_170 BET hasn't done anything excellent in a long time.
Love it James tribute
Josssssss
Yikes ,I could think of 12 singers who could've did the tribute justice.JB deserved better. He was the most sampled artist ever .We wouldn't have Funk,Hip hop ,Prince , Micheal ,Parliament Funkadelic.Mick jagger got his moves from James Brown
I didn't know you could take Georgia on my Mind to church like that. Lol
But she took you there did she not! That's Miss Yolanda Adams all the Time!!!
The song was good, but that's not a James Brown song. James Brown had more than enough hits for them to stick with his stuff.
@@HercuLync it was his favorite song. At Carlos Santana Kennedy Honor, Buddy Guy performed Hoochie Coochie Man
The best entertainer of all time and all they did was sing .. He created dance for Mike and Prince and they get mike singer Damn …They SUCKED …. Sorry to the Mr. Brown R.I.P.
The only tribute he felt was Yolandas so everybody that's saying all of them were horrible you need to check yourself about ms.addams
Dan Akroyd too good
Yolanda Amazing
Wow
THE GREAT YOLANDA ADAMS WHERE WOULD MUSIC BE WITH OUT U
Man I respect James Brown so much, so this tribute was so disappointing.
Joss was good
This only gets 1362 views?!!! Yolanda Adams deserves a million!
Menudo homenaje
6:14 Did you all see Carol Brady from the Brady Bunch kicking it! LOL!
I didn't see Carol Brady. I DID see Carol Burnett.
Go back and look at the video at 6:14 and you will see Florence Henderson (AKA Carol Brady on the Brady Bunch) shaking it!
Everyone complaining there were some talent great singers that did a great job, along as James brown like them and was having a good time is all that matters.joss stone is a good soulful singer and Anastasia is a great soulful singer too.
That's the thing I really dont think he liked it, In a couple of scenes you can see him palming his head
You can't do a James Brown tribute and not bring the funk. This sucked. Yolanda was great and she was sorely needed at the Ray Charles tribute, but why did she chose that song on this night?
Yolanda chose that song because she and James were both from Georgia.
@2:30 "God Almighty" (James Brown mouthed these words). :)
That was so weak n strange without Yolanda that tribute was shameful
joe f/ Truth ....Speak it!!!!
I agree, why she of all singers who could sing it better. Christina Aguilera is the best to sing this
Here is Elwood Blues!!
👍👍
wild
Stay the seen!
01:57-02:06 Old Indian chief look
It should be Christina Aguilera to sing this song A Man's World" --the best singer to represent him
Why didnt Michael jackson or diana Ross perform?
Patti La Belle would've slaaayed....This is a man's world!! Diana Ross' s vocals( even though I'm a big fan) aren't powerful enough...
I was wondering where MJ was as well. He said james was his greatest inspiration.
This was in December 2003. MJ would've performed here if it wasn't for the fact that he got arrested days prior in November 20. The headlines were all about his child molestation allegations so I think he just tried to stay out of the limelight and turned this one down.
@@lindalyte7307 Neither of them could do the song justice.
They should be made to do this again. Shameful. Yolanda Adams was incredible. The rest... mehhh
@Nate Ricke/ I guess they could do a tribute in his honor....since he's gone on to glory😥😪.May he R.I.P.
And what did Florence Henderson think she was doing?
Joss Stone and Anastasia, really!! They can sing but really!! 😂
the only one on the one is herbie
Were was mike
In jail.
@@ronniemoon57 Mike did honor James Brown that year at the BET honors see link: czcams.com/video/3ChlhQ814rc/video.html
Must be stronger singing man singging., JB was so much more thant the artist there was
""It's a man''s World""??? Sure is, if that rendition is anything to go by!! (..wait for it marilyn...wait for it!!!)
Bob Dylan and James Brown = Bruce Springsteen...
Yes, these performers an insult to the Godfather Of Soul.
Anyone hear the difference between this band and James's band? The Flames are 10 times tighter than this band, maybe more than ten times.
The Famous Flames was not his band. The Flames were a singing group.
...i thought Anastacia was cool...Joss too.....but really all they had to do...was get PRINCE...and then...YOLANDA...
yolanda carried
Where did they get these horrible singers from? gosh
Brian McKnight is NOT horrible singer at all
if it had only been the Joss Stone part, it would have been worth watching
Joss Stone's version of it's a man's world suck big time, the worst version I have heard. Check the Craig's Lewis band if you want to hear talent and really a great version, of a man's world.
I am not impressed with who they picked!
8:43 love when JB turns to Carol Burnett as she's catching the spirit!
