Maceo Parker (/ˈmeɪsiːoʊ/; born February 14, 1943) is an American funk and soul jazz saxophonist, best known for his work with James Brown in the 1960s, as well as Parliament-Funkadelic in the 1970s. Parker was a prominent soloist on many of Brown's hit recordings, and a key part of his band, playing alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. Since the early 1990s, he has toured under his own name.
Parker was born in Kinston, North Carolina. His father played piano and drums; his mother and father both sang in church. His brother Melvin played drums and his brother Kellis trombone. He and his brother Melvin joined James Brown in 1964; in his autobiography, Brown says that he originally wanted Melvin as his drummer, but agreed to take Maceo under his wing as part of the deal. In 1970 Parker, his brother Melvin, and a few of Brown's band members left to found Maceo & All the King's Men, which toured for two years.
In 1974, Parker returned to James Brown. He also charted a single "Parrty – Part I" (#71 pop singles) with Maceo & the Macks that year. In 1975, Parker and some of Brown's band members, including Fred Wesley, left to join George Clinton's band Parliament-Funkadelic. Parker once again re-joined James Brown from 1984 to 1988.

Maceo Parker, the saxophonist who pioneered the sounds of funk and soul in the 1960s as the high-profile sideman to the legendary James Brown, has since established a solo career that embraces not only that seminal funk sound but also jazz, R&B; and more. In the decades since his departure from Brown's bands in 1970, Parker collaborated with other high profile figures like George Clinton and Bootsy Collins, and released a string of solo recordings that proved his merits as a composer and bandleader.

Some small parts are in dutch, if someone can translate it, send me the subtitles. Sorry for the quality of the video, but I can't seem to find a better source.
In 2009 I had a conversation with some friends about some James Brown lyrics from his song The Payback. As we went back and forth about the phase "I don't know Karate, but I know Ka..." I realized they had access to more supporting evidence (via the internet, song lyric sites and "Ka-razy" merchandise from folks that became rich off of this phrase. I finally asked them, "Who's mouth do you have to here it from?" and of course they replied "James Brown himself!" Not wanting to hold a seance to get the answer, I noticed The Legendary Maceo Parker was coming to town in March of 2010. "This man was there from jump and knows the truth", I thought. I invited them to the show to hear it for themselves. Maceo was kind enough to grant us an interview after the show. We made our way backstage and sp...
