Radical Music Videos: James Brown

Last Christmas the world woke up to the news of James Brown's passing. Brown's legacy in music and society is indelible. His dance techniques can be seen in artists that came after him - Michael Jackson, Prince, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears - just to name a few, and his sound is the revolutionary predecessor to hip hop. Brown was also a socially conscious artist, as can be seen in his Soul Train performance of "I'm Black and Proud."
