Tribute To James Brown | Stevie Hawkins

In this video, Stevie Hawkins pays homage to music legend, Mr. James Brown, with his song, "Tribute To James Brown", recorded 2001, live in Atlanta, GA, five years before Mr. Brown's passing. The performance recently won 5th Annual Indie Music Channel Awards "Best Live Blues Performance" award.

" I hope the video will be received as a sincere tribute to Mr. Brown, because this is what it is. James Brown was a visionary, an explorer, a pioneer, and is among the small elite group of the greatest artists, songwriters and entertainers of all time. He was a man who believed in himself and would never take no for an answer. He broke all the rules of music theory and structure, and by that, set new boundaries creating his own, the Brown theory of music. He heard musical riffs, melodies, grooves and orchestrations in his head, and conveyed those to his band, even though oftentimes the band didn't believe his ideas would work. However the concepts did work, and his music and legacy has proved just such. Not only did he give the world the gift of his music, but he also advocated for education and the betterment of society as a whole. Mr. Brown has been an inspiration to me for decades."
