James Brown‘s upcoming biopic directed by Spike Lee and starring Wesley Snipes will not feature the voice of Snipes singing but actual recordings of the late great James Brown.

�We�re doing it together � it�s going to happen,� Lee told MTV News in an exclusive interview at the Sundance Film Festival this week. The Oscar nominated director of �Do the Right Thing� and �Inside Man� lavished praise on Snipes. �He�s my man,� Lee said; but when it comes to the vocals on Brown�s classic tracks like �I Got You (I Feel Good)� and �Get Up Offa That Thing,� expect to hear the authentic voice of James Brown being dubbed in.

�I want to hear James Brown�s voice,� the director said. �That�s just my personal taste.�

Makes sense to me, James Brown isn’t exactly a voice one could easily mimic, besides can Wesley Snipes even sing?
