Скачать или смотреть [Hidden Gems That Fit Today Times] Say It Loud, I'm Black And I'm Proud

"Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)" is just as funky and infectious as any tune James Brown ever sang; we dare you to try to listen without bobbing your head and tapping your feet. Can't be done!

But the song was also – more of a rarity for the Godfather of Soul – deeply political. "Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)" was almost a revolutionary statement in 1968, and one laced with more than a little bit of irony. Brown said he recorded the tune as a kind of children's song, hoping to instill pride in the younger generation. But many whites heard it only as militant and angry, costing Brown a good chunk of his interracial crossover audience. And those kids happily shouting out the chorus, "I'm black and I'm proud"? In another ironic twist, most of them were actually white or Asian schoolchildren.

James Brown himself quickly lost interest in the song, pulling it from his normal concert repertoire within a couple years of its release; by the 1980s, he called it "obsolete." But in its moment "Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud") may have been the most important song James Brown ever recorded.

It Is 2015 And The Song Fits Today Also!
