March 2 Information
On many photos in James Brown he's more or less sweaty, mainly when performing. During It's A Man's Man's Man's World peformance, for example, he was sweating already from the start, while the song itself is quite calm, without any intense moves. This source mentions "hot stage lights", but other performers from the same era didn't seem to sweat that much. Hyperhidrosis maybe? 212.180.235.46 ( talk) 21:30, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Let's face it, he was hot! [1] Martinevans123 ( talk) 21:41, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- How do you know he wasn't sweating from a prior (strenuous) number he had performed? After all, he was "the hardest working man in show business".

- Like James Brown, I have a strong propensity to forehead sweating when I'm working hard in warm conditions. I use a lot of paper towels. James Brown made it one of his trademarks. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:28, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- He drank water and gave long, strenuous performances under hot stage lights. I bet you could find photos of Bruce Springsteen sweating too. No mystery here. Temerarius ( talk) 23:25, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
