James Brown performs and dances to "Night Train" to a live audience on TAMI Show.
James Brown recorded "Night Train" with his band in 1961. His performance replaced the original lyrics of the song with a shouted list of cities on his East Coast touring itinerary. The song became a hit, charting #5 R&B and #35 Pop.
The TAMI Show is a 1964 concert that included performances by numerous popular rock and roll and R&B musicians from the United States and England. TAMI stood for both "Teenage Awards Music International" and "Teen Age Music International".
The concert was held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on October 28 and 29, 1964. Free tickets were distributed to local high school students. The best footage from each of the two concert dates was edited into the film, which was released on December 29, 1964. The TAMI Show is particularly well known for James Brown's performance featuring his legendary dance moves and explosive energy.

Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones has claimed that choosing to follow Brown & the Famous Flames on the TAMI Show was the worst mistake of their careers, because no matter how well they performed, they could not top him.
And somewhere in Gary, Indiana... a little boy named Michael Jackson was watching.
Nothing needs to be said
James wearing his dancers out.
Story goes that James Brown was mad that the Rolling Stones were going to follow him. He told the director that nobody follows James Brown. The director disagreed and so James pulled out all the stops. When James walked off the stage, he said to Keith Richards, "Follow that, m-
A perfect example of why this man was regarded as "the hardest working man in show business " when he was alive.
People must remember that before James Brown there was no one else dancing like this. James Brown did not look to anyone else to get his dance moves from; however Michael Jackson looked to James Brown for his dance moves.
no one. I mean no one could move like this brother.
This is incredible! Now I see why Michael Jackson loved him so much! Rest in peace to the Godfather of Soul!
The footwork, the timing, showmanship, everything was on point!
Nobody knew that there was a little kid watching, learning, and absorbing all of this. He would become the King of pop.
This is absolutely one of the most badass things I've ever seen.
F**ckin incredible performance. No backing tracks. No ridiculous auto-tune. Just pure talent through and through.
That lady at
I see how Prince got his moves😉James your the man🔥
Pure power. No artist in any genre today can match tthis!
The man goes hard. This is the true meaning of "going hard".
The man was an absolutely electric performer.
His legs sometimes VIBRATED because he was moving so fast. Just...wow. A few years ago I was hanging at my parent’s house and we started watching James Brown on CZcams. They grew up watching him as in James was performing and making music whist they were coming up. I have never in my life seen my dad so giddy. This is a 70 something year old man that fought in Vietnam at 18 was freaking fanboy’ing. The other artist that he would get hyped on (still does) is Michael Jackson because duh! Just…wow. You know, everyone will say that Micheal Jackson has a lot of influence on artist from ANY genre but they tend to forget where he learned it from.
"Hardest working man of showbusiness"
