Oh ... and Weird Al Yankovic's parody video of his song 'Bad' (Al did 'Fat'!) was the best ever! James Brown was a good sport about it too, which is cool.
I love James Brown! His 'Thriller' album and 'Billy Jean' are two of my favorites. And when he was much younger and sang with his four brothers, my sister had both the 'Puppy Love' and 'Go Away Little Girl' 45s.
This quiz is a disgrace. How dare you pick the MAN most artists mimick to disrespect. I've seen these type of questions regarding the white mediocre artists that became famous. Disgusting

7 out of 10. Didn't know they had 3 days of civil unrest in Boston. Though I guess most major cities did because of MLK assassination. I picked Atlanta on that one.

I seen James Brown in 1974 at the old Dutch bar in PC Beach Florida playing alongside D Fords Band Earnestine absolutely 2 of the best bands I’ve ever seen the Brass Section ABSOLUTELY the best they covered everything till 4:45 am the greatest time to be alive James Brown was a real funny man easy to talk to D Ford the same way they all knew each other playing in Underground Atlanta
I also got 2 out of 10... but here's a story you may never have heard...
The late Mack Emmerman owned Criteria Studios in North Miami, Florida. He engineered Brown's hit of "(I Got You) I Feel Good" and told me he'd never forget that session because James has a disagreement with his wife, reached across the console and punched her right in the mouth! I guess to him, it really was "A Man's World"... and not a very nice world at that...
