Black & Loud: James Brown Reimagined

James Brown’s signature cape routine. His famous stint originated when he was only five years old and went to church regularly with his family. The bishop, Charles Manuel “Sweet Daddy” Grace, often wore a cape that James Brown was drawn to. The cape stuck with him and became a staple of his performances. #LivePerformance | James Brown
