For my money, one of the triumphs of this type of acting is Chadwick Boseman's James Brown in "Get On Up." Boseman pumps Brown full of edginess and spite while having to reconstruct Brown as a stage specimen, and part of that reconstruction involves learning to lip sync to Brown.
|
|
Before Black Panther – or rather, before debuting the character in Captain America: Civil War – Boseman became something of a go-to historical actor, portraying Jackie Robinson in 42 and James Brown in Get On Up. His career started with television and theatre, including directing an off-Broadway play and on the series Lincoln Heights.
|
|
The film is anchored by a trio of remarkable performances: As he's done twice before (as Jackie Robinson in 42 and James Brown in Get On Up), Boseman captures Marshall's larger-than-life aura; Josh Gad gives the best dramatic performance of his career as a lawyer who is, effectively, waking up from a self-imposed moral slumber; and two-time Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown proves he's one of the finest and most capable actors working today with a deeply nuanced take on a complicated character.

However, "Dance to the Music" did what it was supposed to do: it launched Sly and the Family Stone into the pop consciousness. Even toned down for pop audiences, the band's radical sound caught many music fans and fellow recording artists completely off guard. "Dance to the Music" featured four co-lead singers, black musicians and white musicians in the same band, and a distinct blend of instrumental sounds: rock guitar riffs from Sly's brother Freddie Stone, a funk bassline from Larry Graham, Greg Errico's syncopated drum track, Sly's gospel-styled organ playing, and Jerry Martini and Cynthia Robinson on the horns. An unabashed party record, "Dance to the Music" opens with Robinson screaming to the audience, demanding that they "get on up...and dance to the music!" before the Stone brothers and Graham break into an a cappella scat before the song's verses begin.

In 2015, he scored John Madden's The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, marking the first time Newman has scored a sequel to a film he also wrote the score for.

On October 20, 2014, it was announced by Centric and BET that Jodeci would be making their way back onto the music scene after a hiatus of nearly two decades at the 2014 Soul Train Awards by performing a medley of their hits, and also debuting a new song titled "Nobody Wins", their first single in 18 years, which features rapper B.o.B. Group member Mr. Dalvin explained the long-awaited release of their new music to Yahoo Music. "'Sometimes it’s just the wrong timing,' said Mr. Dalvin explaining why the group has not released any new music since 1996's “Get on Up.” "You can fall into the trap that a lot of artists fall into by just putting records out there because fans are excited and start tarnishing your legacy and body of work you’ve created. People waited all these years for some quality music – not just throwing music out there." On November 30, 2014, at the Soul Train Awards, "The Bad Boys of R&B;” reunited and performed a medley of their hits ("Freek'n You", "Stay", "Come and Talk to Me", and "Forever My Lady"), along with a snippet of their new single, “Nobody Wins”, with rapper B.o.B.
