"2Oth Century Masters: The Best Of James Brown Vol. 3" is the perfect companion piece to "20th Century Masters: The Best Of James Brown Vol. 2". My favorite JB decade was the 70's and the 2 previously mentioned CDs contain the FUNK classics that made James Brown the 'Godfather Of Soul'..."Sex Machine", "Super Bad", "Make It Funky", "The Payback" (Vol. 2) and "Doin' It To Death" and "Pass The Peas" (The JBs), "Think" (Lynn Collins), "I Know You Got Soul" (Bobby Byrd) and "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved", "Funky Drummer", "My Thang" and "Stoned To The Bone" could have been all thrown together, to make one helluva JB compilation collection! But it is, what it is, and as it is, 20th Century Masters: The Millenium Collection have released these classics, on 2 seperate discs, but they are both (as all 20th Century Masters) priced so ridiculously low, there is no excuse, not to own both of these collections!

I would have preferred another Lynn Collins song in lieu of the Marva Whitney song. They also could have added Maceo and the Macs (Soul Power) or A.A.B.B. (PIC UP THE PIECES ONE BY ONE) to this collection to give it a rounded sound. Nevertheless, you can't go wrong with James, Bobby,the JB's and Lynn...

While we're still dreaming of more adventurous offers from Polydor, something like the CD debut of "Live at the Garden", or the deluxe edition of "Revolution of the Mind", or any number of previously unreleased concerts believed to be gathering dust in the vaults, this set will do just fine: 12 tracks including a long version of Bobby Byrd's classic "I Know You Got Soul" (with a Brown countdown); "The Message From The Soul Sisters", a great recording with Vicki Anderson, who it appears returned to the musical family after about a three-year absence when Marva Whitney became lead diva; and the long, long overdue "What Do I Have To Do To Prove My Love To You", from the aforementioned Marva, another catchy cut from an artist who should have had many more charters, including this one. [Fans/historians look for JB's "You've Changed" from the recent "Motherlode" CD for an interesting similiarity]. Beyond these cuts, we have more familiar, heavily recycled things like "Funky President (People It's Bad)", "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved", the last of these presumed to have a live-at-the-Apollo companion sitting up on the shelf.
There are some classy photos adorning this package, some from television 1970-71. Maybe a future release will contain some performances from that period from the Mike Douglas Show, Playboy After Dark, Merv Griffin, etc.
