James Brown Resurrects Himself To Do One More Encore, But Pallbearer/Roadie Forces Him Off Stage
Damn, I was looking for this clip for days.
I don't know how often James Brown did this. I know it's often-parodied (Paul Schaffer spoofed it on Letterman), but maybe he just did it once.
Still, it's the stuff of show-business legend.
I liked his claim of being "The Hardest-Workin' Man In Show-Business." Putting the emphasis on hard work, not natural talent. Nice. Although, of course, he had an awful lot of talent, too.
He helped that claim along with this stunt, which is so cheesy it's perfect. The silliness starts at 4:30.
The clip shows helpful bandmates trying desperately to lead James Brown off the stage -- apparently concerned for his health, as he was giving "too much show" for one man's constitution to handle -- and the indefatigable Brown refusing their medical intervention, determined to give just a little more, no matter what effect it might have upon his very life.
