James Brown on the T.A.M.I. show, same tape I’ve had for years
One of the greatest performances in rock history, the appearance of James Brown on The T.A.M.I. Show singing “Prisoner of Love/Please Please Please.” Features the now-cliche but then-amazing scene of JB being handed his cape and ushered offstage, only to throw it off and keep on singing. The performance that so stunned the Rolling Stones that they were terrified to go on after him.
ALSO: The now ironic, but still amazing, James Brown performance of 
Please Come Home For Christmas (Rhapsody player required.)
