Acredito que muita gente nao saiba disto!!SHOW!!...Poise!...E ainda temos gravaçoes deste sucesso estrondoso,com DAVID BOWIE e tantos outros mais,que estou vendo agora,na internet!!...INCRIVEL!!...

Wow! The Godfather of Nature Boy!

Different take on this great song, terrific!

FANTASTIKO

ειναι σαν τον ΡΙΧΑΡΔΟ.ΜΑΣ ΠΛΗΡΩΝΗ ΚΑΙ ΤΟΝ ΧΡΥΣΟ ΚΑΙ ΤΑ ΔΙΑΜΑΝΤΙΑ.ΟΧΙ ΚΥΡΙΕ ΘΕΛΟΥΜΕ ΜΟΝΟ ΤΑ ΔΙΑΜΑΝΤΙΑ

ωω ειναι σπουδαιο

James makes everything he touches his. Its like a anew song! Ilove this version!!! Still as haunting, but so much dirtier and funky!

DAMN!!!!!!!! JAMES..... This is on FIRE!!🤯😎

I also feel that King Cole's version is definitive version but THIS, this is HOT TO DEATH!!!!! Leave it to James Brown to do it RIGHT!!!!!

WOWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

SOOOOOOOOO GREAT !!!!!!!!!

anyone know how to rip or has a rip of the backing vocals (haunting ones)

hell yesssss!

he can't sing about purity and love ...this song doesn't suit him

a Concierta Gotta call you on that.

Great interpration. One of my favorites together with Nat Cole, Auroa and Bowie.

He put his own twist on a classic song.

There was a boy

A very strange enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far, very far

Over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye

But very wise was heAnd then one day

A magic day he passed my way

And while we spoke of many things

Fools and kings

This he said to me

The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in returnThe greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return

Soul del Soul....inmejorable!!!!!!!

nature boy.............. la meilleur version

Damn! This is sooo kool. Super soulful treatment of this classic blues tune in its minor key

Wow! Maybe a little heavy on the strings but James is phenomenal!

There's no such thing :-)

OMG....

No no no!  Nat King Cole nailed this one.  Sorry, James.

Barry Katz art isnt judged.by clowns.. thats u clearly go away forever please thanks bye... clown

D Thomas Williamson: Well, he IS right.

Exactly. And add the following to your listening pleasure as well: John Coltrane, Miles Davis, David Bowie, Ella Fitzgerald or Eden Ahbez himself. No comparison, just more pleasure!

nice version unbeatable

I always Loved James's voice on this.

So deeeep, soulful and soooo WOW:))! I love this version as well. RIP.... Mr. James Brown...."The Godfather of Soul".

Wasn't sure how he'd pull this off, but he did it nicely.  Like it a lot....although the added words at the beginning and end are questionable.  His interpretation of the song itself is actually awesome.

i love it

The King!

Great rendition by James Brown! Jon Hassell has also a great trumpet, instrumental version!

Blue Jazzman thanks for pointing out hassel's version. Love his music but didn't know he made a version of this. Will check it out

Une petite merveille

agree. lot more soul and passion.

for sure my fav version can you image Jackie Wilson singing this? hed own it!

on Smash #67019, a classic yet timeless side of the master himself.

Kurt Elling's version is the best, but this isn't half bad.

nat king cole's version is the best IMO but to each his own this still a super version tho

Mr. Brown!! Don't be so bold, cold blooded, Brother!!

Iv loved this tune for a long long time now. Was shocked when i found out it was not written by the man himself.

Nel Cimitero dei Ri$orti le tombe suonano vuote per chi bussa. La Vita umana come batteria si scarica e la vita è fuggita dicendo l'Amo Ancora...
Tautologie aristoteliche di un mondo dalla gente affetta da °fallacia computationes° Sick
La mente vede solo ciò che Re-çonosce, gli occhi vedono ciò che è solo reminescenza, l'orecchio non registra che -Memi- e l'arte di TOT, nel trivio, quadrivio e Liberale richiede grande senso della responsabilità. Dittature di propaganda e falsità sono -damage-^.

Pomplamoose version is the finest. Check it. (many fine versions, this one included.) Stanley Jordan - Robert Palmer is also quite fine.

Oh My Godness - Tha King James Brown For Life - Super Magic For Brussels

love it!

my favourite song and version !!!...

@ensconse Thanks it s for me one my favorite version with the version of Sharon Cash ! You have to listen it too !

What can I say? I just got done telling a fellow musician about this track - better than Nat King Cole's vesion, all due respect to him. This is unbelievable. Thank U a million times.
