This is an amazing record that showcases James Brown and His Famous Flame at the top of their game in the Apollo theatre in New York City. It was initially released by King records which was well known at the time for working with many black entertainers. However, the story goes that Syd Nathan, the founder of King Records, never wanted this album made. James Brown though, was particularly dedicated to having this record made, as he apparently felt that the live show that he brought rolling into town had never been properly commited to an LP. I myself was lucky enough to see JB live before he passed, and I can certainly tell you, there's nothing like being there. But being there in 1963, when the black population must surely have been feeling that the times were indeed a-changing; well that would have been something else indeed. On this particular record the manic performer hardly pauses between songs (sometimes he doesn't, creating wonderful medleys) and the feverishly fun atmosphere just continues to rise and rise. This is without a doubt one of the finest live albums I have ever heard, but for once it isn't because of the live venue's ability to translate inspiration and improvisation so well...it's because when you listen to the screams and cries of the fans in the audience, you feel like you're there, and damn does it feel good.
