JAMES
BROWN
The Godfather Of Soul was born into poverty in 1933. As a youth, he was convicted for armed robbery. Fortunately for James Brown, music was his ticket to fame and fortune. He formed a gospel group with vocalist Bobby Byrd before shifting focus to R&B.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Brown's music revolutionized soul and laid the foundations for genres such as funk, disco, rap and hip hop. He instilled a new kind of attitude, pride and confidence into the African - American community. Among his key recordings are the discs "I Got You (I Feel Good)", "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag", "Cold Sweat", "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine" and "Living In America".
In 1988, Brown was in trouble with the law again and returned to jail. Upon his release, he continued recording and touring. He kept this up well into his 70s.
Brown died of heart failure on Christmas Day, 2006. He remains revered as Soul Brother Number One with a catalogue that is certain to inspire future musicians far into the future.
