Biography

One of the most important and influential figures in all of popular music, James Brown left a legacy that has shaped music in more ways than are imaginable. Though often nicknamed "The Godfather of Soul" (among many other nicknames), it is for his invention of funk that he is most revered. A huge and very popular genre in and of itself, funk also led directly to disco and hip-hop, as well as… Read more in Amazon's James Brown Store

Editorial Reviews

Papa had a brand-new band in 1970: the J.B.'s, featuring two hot young players from Cincy by the name of Collins! Yup, Bootsy and Catfish got their start here as Brown's sound got yet funkier, bassier and badder; here are Get Up (I Feel Like Being Like a) Sex Machine; Super Bad; Get Up, Get into It, Get Involved; Soul Power; Escape-Ism (this is where Fred Wesley came back); Hot Pants; Make It Funky you get all the "Pts. 1 & 2" plus detailed notes and rare pix!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great series continues, June 5, 2009
This review is from: Singles 7: 1970-1972 (Audio CD)
Get yours now! 5,000 pressed! With original mixes, alternate mixes, previously unreleased on CD sides, and more importantly, some of the greatest singles ever conceived!
The collector/fan can look over the songlist and see the value for bux. And also some tracks like the "sing along" (aka "instrumental") flip of "Hey America", which to me is a lost Top 20 song - it appears that JB's vocal was an add-on and a generation of sound was lost - the music is surely comparable to things like "The Horse", or any hit instrumental you can name. A late '71 entry led by Lynn Collins is (yet another) remake of "Just Won't Do Right" (aka "I Stay In The Chapel Every Night" by JB); a very melodious duet: JB is more "controlled", shall we say, and the result is outstanding. (Lynn should have gotten Top 20 attention with said song and the B-side, the Grammy-worthy "Wheels Of Life").
As usual, the packaging, notes, overall production is magnificent. Weinger and Leeds have once again given us something for the Soul Pantheon.
["1970 to 1972" indicates the complete 1970 and 1971 JB singles].
