Mr. Dynamite Explodes


James Brown scorches the floor with His Famous Flames.  

Everybody bow down to the greatest entertainer that ever lived, the Bumpschool Originator, Hardest Working Man in Show Business, Soul Brother Number 1, Asiatic Afro-Apache from Barnwell, South Cackalacky!  James Brown!  This clip is from the film T.A.M.I. Show and was recorded in Electronovision at the Santa Monica Auditorium on October 28 and 29, 1964.  T.A.M.I. is an acronym for Teen Age Music International and with that in mind free tickets to the live recording were handed out to local high school students.  Released by American International Pictures the film was directed by Steve Binder who would later helm Elvis Presley's `68 Comeback and the ignominious Star Wars Holiday Special.
