New DVD: ‘James Brown, The 60′s’

“The Godfather of Soul,” James Brown, is an American musical institution. One night in Boston in 1968, the day after Martin Luther King’s assassination, Brown also became a political and social ambassador on the highly charged issue of race.

Disc 1 holds the VH1 documentary, “The Night James Brown Saved Boston,” about Brown’s actions on stormy April 5 when he was scheduled to perform at the Boston Garden. Disc 2 is a rare video of that Boston concert. Disc 3 shows him in March 1968 at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem. 330 minutes. From Shout Factory. In stores Aug. 5.
