Told by Tony Wilson

James Brown personally gave me my first filmology project. He then introduced me as the "Godson of Soul," and he told the producers he was renaming me Young James Brown. I had the incredible honor of working alongside the original James Brown band (the J.B.'s), including legends like:
Maceo Parker

Jabo (John "Jabo" Starks), drummer

Clyde Stubblefield (the legendary "Funky Drummer")

Bootsy Collins

Catfish Collins

Johnnie Griggs (congas)

Country Kellum (guitar)

Sweet Charles Sherrell (musical director)

The Bittersweets

The Soul Generals

Plus many other icons and special guests:
My hometown Chicago actor Harry Lennix (serving as the guide and my cape man)

Actors Donte and Dante Basco

George Clinton

Alie Woodson and The Temptations

Marcus Miller

Dr. John

Herbie Hancock

Sly Stone

Chaka Khan

Charlie Wilson and The Gap Band

Choreographer Lisa Ruffin

Tony Wilson and James Brown
This ambitious production was originally started by the late Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft), along with Emplive.com and Digital Domain in Santa Monica. It was an unforgettable experience surrounded by soul, funk, and music history's greatest names—truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey!
