00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,503
but we're the cover for them.
894
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,505
That's God.
895
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,980
Husband, daddy,
that just give us purpose.
896
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,860
Man got to have purpose,
but purpose ain't gonna stop us neither.
897
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,220
Ain't nothing gonna stop us
898
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,460
from what's meant to be.
899
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,021
Nothing.
900
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,383
And that's God, too.
901
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:42,900
BOBBY: Keep pushing the doggone car.
902
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,860
NAFLOYD: Man, why don't we just
take a break for a second, man?
903
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,980
- BOBBY: What'd I tell you in Peterstown?
- NAFLOYD: You said, "Fill her up, Floyd."
904
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:49,140
BABY ROY: That's right. That's what he said.
905
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:50,460
NAFLOYD: But I ain't had
the dough to fill her up.
906
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,220
Because Bobby over here done gave James
all the money on some fake records.
907
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:54,340
BOBBY: Why don't you cool it, Floyd?
908
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:55,660
JAMES: I miss you.
909
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.
912
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,500
We got no gas. No bread.
913
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,580
Am I missing anything?
914

Velma pregnant.
915
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:18,900
Congratulations.
916
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,820
So, we gotta make us a business decision.
We got 30 cents.
917
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,429
Question is, do I get a
coffee or do I get a donut?
918
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:27,146
(SIGHS)
919
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,346
Knock yourself out.
920
00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:36,949
Hi, honey. Can I get a
coffee and a donut?
921
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,780
You boys from out of town?
922
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,148
Yeah. We musicians.
923
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,664
We the Famous Flames.
924
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,185
More like a flicker. (SCOFFS)
925
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,940
Baby, all we need is a spark
to keep the lamp down low
926
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,105
till the sun rise up
on us in the morning.
927
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,504
Y'all's broke asses splitting
that donut, ain't you?
928
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,982
Let me go cut it up for you.
929
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:07,700
RALPH: Excuse me, ma'am.
930
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,909
I'm looking for some fellas.
931
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:12,420
Been driving through two
states trying to find them.
932
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,221
They were a no-show last
night at the Tuxedo Room.
933
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:17,900
JAMES: Get down.
934
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,940
Have you ever heard
of the Famous Flames?
935
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,860
I ain't supposed to leave Bibb County
without telling my parole officer.
936
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,300
Shit, James. What are we gonna do?
937
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,147
If you can help me out,
I'll make it worth your while.
938
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.
945
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:48,580
RALPH: I heard your acetate.
946
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,540
I want you to come to Cincinnati.
947
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,385
I want you to make a record for King.
948
00:51:52,720 --> 00:51:54,420
King as in King Records?
949
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,185
As in the King Records?
950
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,665
Yeah, you put a lot into that cut.
Those lead vocals.
951
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:01,180
You got a lot of soul right there.
952
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,026
Oh, that's not me,
that's him, James Brown.

What the hell is this, Ralph?
963
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:28,866
Where is the rest of the song?
964
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:30,980
Right there.
965
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:32,380
Right there? What are you talking about?

He keeps hollering the one word
over and over again! "Please!"

Please, what? Please pay my rent?
What does he want?
968
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,300
Listen, Mr. Nathan. This song is a...
969
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,140
I don't hear any song here, Ralph!
970
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:43,460
A song has verses.
971
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,660
You know what I mean?
A song has a snappy chorus.
972

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

Where is the song?
Give me the song, Ralph!
975
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,620
It's not about the song!
976
00:52:56,720 --> 00:52:57,780
What?
977
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,
992
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,460
New York's biggest booking agency.
993
00:53:58,560 --> 00:53:59,540
Hey, man.
994
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,780
Great show last week over in Jersey!
995
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,148
You blew the roof off the place!
996
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,305
Thank you, sir.
997
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,380
We try real hard to do our best.
998
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,500
Not "we," James.
Not the Famous Flames.
999
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,743
You, James Brown.
1000
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,069
- James, what Ben is trying to say...
- I know what Mr. Bart is saying.
1001
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,551
I heard him.
1002
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,064
Loud and clear.
1003
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,301
I see where this thing is going.
1004
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,260
Saw it this morning.
1005
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:36,028
Your secretary called,
asked me to come in an hour early.
1006
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:37,980
Alone.
1007
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:39,905
I knew it six months ago.
1008
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,822
Hell, I knew it the day I was born.
1009
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,902
Okay, fellas, I got
something to show you.
1010
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:04,266
I don't understand.
Is this some sort of... mistake?
1011
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,180
"James Brown and his Famous Flames"?
1012
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,940
(STAMMERS) Sir, this ain't right.
1013
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:12,220
We agree.
1014
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,191
I believe it should say simply,
"James Brown."
1015
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:16,620
The fact is, gentlemen,
1016
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:18,780
James Brown is a powerhouse talent
1017
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,023
who does not need the Famous Flames.
1018
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,700
King Records, Universal,
are big companies.
1019
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,068
We do not need the Famous Flames.
1020
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,980
But James has requested the name
remain in some form or another.
1021
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,701
So, you can stay
1022
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,260
as salaried employees of James Brown,
1023
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,822
working on James Brown's records.
1024
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,588
If this is disagreeable to you in
whole or in part, you can go home.
1025
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,061
James?
1026
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,823
Bobby, it's just a name.
1027
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,504
Ain't nothing different between us.
1028
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,503
This is for everybody.
1029
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,750
It's gonna be good.

I ain't never like you.
1033
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,060
Come on.
1034
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,110
Let's get out of here.
1035
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,110
You wrong, James.
1036
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,540
So,
1037
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,271
James,
1038
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,426
do you know what you want?
1039
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,100
I know exactly what I want.
1040
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,220
King doesn't do live albums.
They are too expensive. That's it.
1041
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:02,620
Ah, but Federal Records can.
1042
00:57:02,720 --> 00:57:05,220
- See, Mr. Nathan, I think a live album...
- SYD: No, James, you listen to me.
1043
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,140
Your audience is Negro.
1044
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:08,860
Negroes don't buy albums.
1045
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:10,620
They don't have the resources.
1046
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:14,502
Especially not for a bunch of
songs which they already got!
1047
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,220
Look, it's just
1048
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,820
live recording is six, seven times
more expensive than in studio.
1049
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,380
And that's just for a
violin concerto at the Met.
1050
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:23,906
JAMES: Pop, you seen the show.
1051
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,220
Mr. Nathan, you ain't even ever
seen the show. Not my show.
1052
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:28,826
I don't need to.
1053
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,740
Mr. Nathan, what the hell you doing?
1054
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,824
That's the "Mashed Potato."
1055
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:37,940
That ain't nobody's Mashed Potato.
1056
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,780
Exactly. I can't do
the Mashed Potato.

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

1059
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,311

1064
00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:59,580
I'm gonna spend my own money on this.

1066
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,300

Let's get something to eat.
1068
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:06,980
So I don't understand risk?
1069
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:08,381
No.
1070
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:12,110
I don't understand,
'cause I'm just a show.
1071
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,260
That's all I am to you, Pop?
1072
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:15,500
Of course not, James.
1073
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,140
Sure it is.
1074
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,180
That's all me and my black
brothers are to the white devil.
1075
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,300
We the show, and you the money.
1076

And that's how the white
devil keep it all.
1077
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:25,180
I'm just trying to protect you.
1078
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:26,866
And I'm not the white devil.
1079
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:29,951
And don't ever call me that again!
1080
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,588
Pop, look me in the eye.
1081
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:35,741
You believe in what we're doing here?
1082

1083

Then yeah, I am the show.
1084
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,820
But if I'm spending my
own money on the show,
1085
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:44,585
I'm gonna be the business, too.

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

there and it occurred to me
1216

we don't pay the promoter,
1217
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:14,264

01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,380

there is Lenny J. Frank.

1224
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,620
What if we take it ourself?
1225
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,864
And still get the show promoted,
but better.
1226
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:35,271
See, Pop,
1227
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,780
we go to the radio station.
1228
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,140
I understand your frustration, Jimmy,
1229
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,660
but you're entering a game here
where the rules are already set.
1230

You walk on the field.

innings are being played.

01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,620
I mean, you know, it's like golf.
1234
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,340
I mean, you gonna play 18 holes,
scored a certain way.
1235
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:54,700
That's the way the scoring is.
That's the system.
1236
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:56,500
It's like you're in a sand trap, right?
1237
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,500
What do you wanna do?
Use a putter in a sand trap?
1238

01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:47,540
headed to the White House right now.
1771
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:50,261
It says you're kissing
up to The Man, James.
1772
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:56,420
So, you telling me to turn this plane
around and stand up the President?
1773
01:33:56,520 --> 01:33:59,460
No. I'm saying you're
screwed already, man.
1774
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:00,900
Think about it.
1775
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:03,140
You stand up Lyndon Johnson
and go kiss up to the Panthers,
1776
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:06,191
you ain't gonna be playing
in Vegas anytime soon.
1777
01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:08,945
Because if they know
you can stop a riot,
1778
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:11,740
they'll sure as hell
expect you to start one.

1780
01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:18,829

brother whining on his private jet.

With a tired, old, lucky Jew.
1782
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:31,904
James, look at me.
1783
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:36,107
Don't you be scared, my friend.
1784
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:39,260
Because if you're scared,
1785
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,822
it does not end well for the black man.
1786
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:46,700
Just do your thing, James.
1787
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,467
It's worked for you so far.
1788
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:55,421
JAMES: Make a circle around.
1789
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:57,260
Make a circle around.

01:34:57,360 --> 01:34:58,500

- Good.

Good. It's good to have you here.

Now we brought y'all here today
1794
01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:06,860
to tell you something very important.
1795
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:11,180
I want you all to know that you
can do anything you want in life.
1796
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:13,020
And let nobody tell you
any different. Understand?
1797
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:14,421
ALL: Yes, sir.
1798
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:17,665

that's the respect now.

Hey, you think if they mess up,
he gonna take their pocket money?

Because if the funk up
