James Brown: The Godfather of Soul. Since his first chart-topper in 1956, he’s outlived, outlasted, and outperformed all rivals. He is the funk-and-soul innovator and rap’s driving spirit. His dazzling stage shows are legendary. Now James Brown tells his own story, just as he plays his music: loud, proud, and soulful. From his dirt-poor childhood in an Augusta brothel to wealth and world fame and his recent incarceration, James Brown takes a unique look behind the closed doors of poverty, segregation, politics, and the music industry. With photo inserts, brilliant anecdotes about Little Richard, Elvis, Tina Turner, Otis Redding, Tammi Terrell, Michael Jackson, and many others, plus a new updated introduction and epilogue and an exhaustive discography. “Fine blend of social responsibility, cranked-up ego, and pronouncements on his own music and its place in the world”—Amazon.com AnnotationPerhaps the most influential R&B and soul performer of the 20th century, James Brown not only contributed a wealth of classic recordings, such as "Sex Machine" and "Poppa's Got a Brand New Bag," but also fueled the music of a future generation of hip-hop artists who found sampling his rhythms and breaks artistically irresistible and commercially lucrative. Brown's autobiography, JAMES BROWN: THE GODFATHER OF SOUL, recounts his humble beginnings in a shack in South Carolina, his childhood raised by his aunts against a backdrop of crime and poverty, and his later incarceration for armed robbery. While on parole, he started a group that later gave him his first hit when it recorded an R&B-style reworking of a gospel tune, "Please, Please, Please." He recounts his savvy recording of his first LIVE AT THE APOLLO album against the wishes of his record label, and his legendary performance in Boston after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, which prevented a riot in that town. Though published well before Brown's latter-day problems with drugs and the law, JAMES BROWN is a simply told, riveting account of the artist's most fertile period, and the hard road he took to get there.
