00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,505
That's God.
894
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,980
Husband, daddy,
that just give us purpose.
895
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,860
Man got to have purpose,
but purpose ain't gonna stop us neither.
896
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,220
Ain't nothing gonna stop us
897
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,460
from what's meant to be.
898
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,021
Nothing.
899
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,383
And that's God, too.

00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:42,900
BOBBY: Keep pushing the doggone car.
901
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,860
NAFLOYD: Man, why don't we just
take a break for a second, man?
902
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,980
- BOBBY: What'd I tell you in Peterstown?
- NAFLOYD: You said, "Fill her up, Floyd."
903
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:49,140
BABY ROY: That's right. That's what he said.
904
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:50,460
NAFLOYD: But I ain't had
the dough to fill her up.
905
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,220
Because Bobby over here done gave James
all the money on some fake records.
906
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:54,340
BOBBY: Why don't you cool it, Floyd?
907
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:55,660
JAMES: I miss you.
908
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,711
Talk to you later. All right, bye.

00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,660
Our next gig is at the Two Spot,
140 miles west.
911
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,500
We got no gas. No bread.
912
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,580
Am I missing anything?
913

Velma pregnant.
914
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:18,900
Congratulations.
915
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,820
So, we gotta make us a business decision.
We got 30 cents.
916
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,429
Question is, do I get a
coffee or do I get a donut?
917
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:27,146
(SIGHS)
918
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,346
Knock yourself out.
919
00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:36,949
Hi, honey. Can I get a
coffee and a donut?
920
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,780
You boys from out of town?
921
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,148
Yeah. We musicians.
922
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,664
We the Famous Flames.
923
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,185
More like a flicker. (SCOFFS)
924
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,940
Baby, all we need is a spark
to keep the lamp down low
925
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,105
till the sun rise up
on us in the morning.
926
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,504
Y'all's broke asses splitting
that donut, ain't you?
927
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,982
Let me go cut it up for you.
928
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:07,700
RALPH: Excuse me, ma'am.
929
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,909
I'm looking for some fellas.
930
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:12,420
Been driving through two
states trying to find them.
931
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,221
They were a no-show last
night at the Tuxedo Room.
932
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:17,900
JAMES: Get down.
933
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,940
Have you ever heard
of the Famous Flames?
934
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,860
I ain't supposed to leave Bibb County
without telling my parole officer.
935
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,300
Shit, James. What are we gonna do?
936
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,147
If you can help me out,
I'll make it worth your while.
937
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,380

What do you want with them?

I'm Bobby Byrd of the Famous Flames.

I'm Ralph Bass from Federal

- Why don't we have a seat?
- Okay.
944
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:48,580
RALPH: I heard your acetate.
945
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,540
I want you to come to Cincinnati.
946
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,385
I want you to make a record for King.
947
00:51:52,720 --> 00:51:54,420
King as in King Records?
948
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,185
As in the King Records?
949
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,665
Yeah, you put a lot into that cut.
Those lead vocals.
950
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:01,180
You got a lot of soul right there.
951
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,026
Oh, that's not me,
that's him, James Brown.
952

What the hell is this, Ralph?
962
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:28,866
Where is the rest of the song?
963
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:30,980
Right there.
964
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:32,380
Right there? What are you talking about?
965
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,300
He keeps hollering the one word
over and over again! "Please!"

Please, what? Please pay my rent?
What does he want?
967
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,300
Listen, Mr. Nathan. This song is a...
968
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,140
I don't hear any song here, Ralph!
969
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:43,460
A song has verses.
970
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,660
You know what I mean?
A song has a snappy chorus.
971

It's not just some unfortunate
nigger just pleading like that!

Where is the song?
Give me the song, Ralph!
974
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,620
It's not about the song!
975
00:52:56,720 --> 00:52:57,780
What?
976
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,262

you to meet somebody.

James, this is Ben Bart.

00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,020
Ben is the President
of Universal Attractions,
991
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,460
New York's biggest booking agency.
992
00:53:58,560 --> 00:53:59,540
Hey, man.
993
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,780
Great show last week over in Jersey!
994
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,148
You blew the roof off the place!
995
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,305
Thank you, sir.
996
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,380
We try real hard to do our best.
997
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,500
Not "we," James.
Not the Famous Flames.
998
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,743
You, James Brown.
999
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,069
- James, what Ben is trying to say...
- I know what Mr. Bart is saying.
1000
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,551
I heard him.
1001
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,064
Loud and clear.
1002
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,301
I see where this thing is going.
1003
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,260
Saw it this morning.
1004
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:36,028
Your secretary called,
asked me to come in an hour early.
1005
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:37,980
Alone.
1006
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:39,905
I knew it six months ago.
1007
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,822
Hell, I knew it the day I was born.
1008
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,902
Okay, fellas, I got
something to show you.
1009
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:04,266
I don't understand.
Is this some sort of... mistake?
1010
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,180
"James Brown and his Famous Flames"?
1011
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,940
(STAMMERS) Sir, this ain't right.
1012
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:12,220
We agree.
1013
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,191
I believe it should say simply,
"James Brown."
1014
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:16,620
The fact is, gentlemen,
1015
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:18,780
James Brown is a powerhouse talent
1016
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,023
who does not need the Famous Flames.
1017
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,700
King Records, Universal,
are big companies.
1018
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,068
We do not need the Famous Flames.
1019
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,980
But James has requested the name
remain in some form or another.
1020
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,701
So, you can stay
1021
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,260
as salaried employees of James Brown,
1022
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,822
working on James Brown's records.
1023
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,588
If this is disagreeable to you in
whole or in part, you can go home.
1024
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,061
James?
1025
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,823
Bobby, it's just a name.
1026
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,504
Ain't nothing different between us.
1027
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,503
This is for everybody.
1028
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,750
It's gonna be good.

I ain't never like you.
1032
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,060
Come on.
1033
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,110
Let's get out of here.
1034
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,110
You wrong, James.
1035
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,540
So,
1036
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,271
James,
1037
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,426
do you know what you want?
1038
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,100
I know exactly what I want.
1039
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,220
King doesn't do live albums.
They are too expensive. That's it.
1040
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:02,620
Ah, but Federal Records can.
1041
00:57:02,720 --> 00:57:05,220
- See, Mr. Nathan, I think a live album...
- SYD: No, James, you listen to me.
1042
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,140
Your audience is Negro.
1043
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:08,860
Negroes don't buy albums.
1044
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:10,620
They don't have the resources.
1045
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:14,502
Especially not for a bunch of
songs which they already got!
1046
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,220
Look, it's just
1047
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,820
live recording is six, seven times
more expensive than in studio.
1048
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,380
And that's just for a
violin concerto at the Met.
1049
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:23,906
JAMES: Pop, you seen the show.
1050
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,220
Mr. Nathan, you ain't even ever
seen the show. Not my show.
1051
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:28,826
I don't need to.
1052
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,740
Mr. Nathan, what the hell you doing?
1053
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,824
That's the "Mashed Potato."
1054
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:37,940
That ain't nobody's Mashed Potato.
1055
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,780
Exactly. I can't do
the Mashed Potato.

That's your job. That's the show.

1058
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,311

1065
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,300

So I don't understand risk?
1068
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:08,381
No.
1069
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:12,110
I don't understand,
'cause I'm just a show.
1070
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,260
That's all I am to you, Pop?
1071
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:15,500
Of course not, James.
1072
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,140
Sure it is.
1073
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,180
That's all me and my black
brothers are to the white devil.
1074
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,300
We the show, and you the money.
1075
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:23,820
And that's how the white
devil keep it all.
1076
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:25,180
I'm just trying to protect you.
1077
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:26,866
And I'm not the white devil.
1078
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:29,951
And don't ever call me that again!
1079
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,588
Pop, look me in the eye.
1080
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:35,741
You believe in what we're doing here?
1081

1082

Then yeah, I am the show.
1083
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,820
But if I'm spending my
own money on the show,
1084
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:44,585
I'm gonna be the business, too.

1088
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,700

I only got a seventh grade education,
so you gonna have to excuse me.

there and it occurred to me
1215

we don't pay the promoter,
1216
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:14,264

there is Lenny J. Frank.

1223
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,620
What if we take it ourself?
1224
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,864
And still get the show promoted,
but better.
1225
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:35,271
See, Pop,
1226
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,780
we go to the radio station.
1227
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,140
I understand your frustration, Jimmy,
1228
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,660
but you're entering a game here
where the rules are already set.
1229

innings are being played.

01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,620
I mean, you know, it's like golf.
1233
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,340
I mean, you gonna play 18 holes,
scored a certain way.
1234
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:54,700
That's the way the scoring is.
That's the system.
1235
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:56,500
It's like you're in a sand trap, right?
1236
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,500
What do you wanna do?
Use a putter in a sand trap?
1237

It says you're kissing
up to The Man, James.
1771
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:56,420
So, you telling me to turn this plane
around and stand up the President?
1772
01:33:56,520 --> 01:33:59,460
No. I'm saying you're
screwed already, man.
1773
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:00,900
Think about it.
1774
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:03,140
You stand up Lyndon Johnson
and go kiss up to the Panthers,
1775
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:06,191
you ain't gonna be playing
in Vegas anytime soon.
1776
01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:08,945
Because if they know
you can stop a riot,
1777
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:11,740
they'll sure as hell
expect you to start one.

James, look at me.
1782
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:36,107
Don't you be scared, my friend.
1783
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:39,260
Because if you're scared,
1784
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,822
it does not end well for the black man.
1785
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:46,700
Just do your thing, James.
1786
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,467
It's worked for you so far.
1787
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:55,421

1788
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:57,260

Now we brought y'all here today
1793
01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:06,860
to tell you something very important.
1794
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:11,180
I want you all to know that you
can do anything you want in life.
1795
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:13,020
And let nobody tell you
any different. Understand?

Because if the funk up
and quit, then that's it.
