British Television Pays Homage To James Brown!
It was the BBC news on television that gave the late-great Black American James Brown, the homage and recognition that he deserves.
It was the BBC that allotted about five minutes of television time, to highlight his advent on the US entertainment stage, with much praises and kudos for his achievements. I was very impressed when I heard that James Brown believed, that in order for Black Americans to survive economically, they must entertain the thought, and indulge in entrepreneurship that promotes Black capitalism!
I have not seen or heard much said on our local TV networks. And what little was mentioned, was very brief and sketchy indeed.
