MC Hammer once gave James Brown a lot of money and James Brown’s son, Darryl Brown, disclosed the reasons at the back of that. We all familiar that James Brown had a major influence on a plethora of artists with his style of dancing, showmanship, and fashion ideas.
Everyone from Michael Jackson, Prince and obviously, MC Hammer, took pages out of The Godfather of Soul’s handbook and because of his influence, Hammer showed his deep gratitude by doing what James Brown’s son, Darryl Brown,
(pictured below playing guitar, with Hammer) described in his book, “Inside the Godfather of Soul: Never Before said to Stories by James Brown”: Through WWD– MC Hammer was another huge fan [of James Brown], giving him $300,000
when Brown was launched from jail in 1990. Daryl Brown (James’ son) told, “He [Hammer] did it because he just loved James Brown. He has told if it wasn’t for James Brown, he wouldn’t be here — the music, the dancing everything.” Wow!
That was really honorable of Hammer to do that for Brown! James Brown unselfishly sharing his presents with the world is like the gift that keeps on giving. Because James Brown gave, other people saw that and in turn, desired to give back to him, and as a outcome,
his son saw that and in turn, will probably give to someone else. It then began to become like a snowball effect that keeps building into a biggest movement that effects more people’s lives as time goes on. The core of this is to recognize the presents and not be selfish with it.
This just went to show us that James Brown’s unselfish sharing of his presents with the world, is like the presents that keeps on giving. Because of the outcome that Mr. Brown gave, other people saw that, and in turn, desired to give back to him out of sheer gratitude.
Also as a outcome of James being such a giving person, his son, Darryl, possibly heard to have that type of generosity toward others and in turn, will probably give to someone else.
