Mick Jagger and Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson executive produced a new four-part A&E documentary “James Brown: Say It Loud,” where Jagger shared his thoughts on the musical scene in New York at that time. Brown was also annoyed at how much disco borrowed from his blueprint. In the 80s, Brown struggled to make hits due to budget cuts and tax problems. However, he made a comeback by bringing his funk to film, and his song “Living in America” became a huge hit. This song changed Brown’s career, increasing his popularity and bringing him back into the limelight. His last Top 10 single reclaimed the 70s dance sound, bringing him full circle and giving him a big payback after countless acts had stolen from him.
Sylvester Stallone’s role in reviving James Brown’s career in the ’80s made me feel great once more.
