'James Brown: Man to Man' is a concert film recorded live at the Apollo Theater in March 1968. It was produced by Metromedia Television and broadcast as an hour-long syndicated television special, and is one of the first color recordings of James Brown performing with his revue. The concert footage is intercut with scenes shot in Harlem and Watts accompanied by Brown's reflections on the situation of blacks in America. Writing in 'The New York Times', Albert Goldman described 'Man to Man' as "fascinating in detail and overwhelming in total impact" and hailed it as a breakthrough for "offering such a long and relatively unobstructed look at a great black entertainer on his home ground."Goldman, Albert. "Does He Teach Us the Meaning of 'Black Is Beautiful'?". 'The New York Times' June 9, 1968. Rpt. in 'The James Brown Reader: Fifty Years of Writing About the Godfather of Soul'. Ed.
