Moment that change the history of rock& roll

The moment that I selected was the time in 1962 when the infamous James Brown was at the apollo. On that night the James Brown band was recording a live album, James Brown wanted to make a live album that would show what he and his band could do through an entire performance. But, Syd Nathan, the head of James Brown label, said how people were only interested in new hot singles. That didn't stop James Brown though he put all his money to finance the recording himself, at a cost of $5,700. This album was a huge hit as James Brown anticipated it sold around 1 million copies.
