Sat in front of the
gogglebox last night, imagine my surprise and delight when BBC2 screened Alex
Gibney's 2014 documentary, Mr Dynamite: The
Rise of James Brown. What a brilliant film. Loads of rare footage (I
regular scour the internet and there was plenty new to me), archive and new
interviews, band members doing funny impressions of their leader, insight,
context, the lot. If you missed it, or want to watch The Hardest Working Man In Show & Business repeatedly, it's
available on the BBC iPlayer for the next month. Get up, get into it, get
involved.
