This 1960 recording, Brown's fourth album, captures the singer relatively early in his career. Though he had already been recording (mostly singles) for almost a decade at the time, he had not yet developed his signature funk style. Essentially, funk had yet to be invented, so most of the tunes here are in the '50s R&B mode. One of the assets of this recording is the ability to peek in on the still-growing Brown and hear him paying homage to his influences. R&B balladry, doo wop, gospel and blues are all evident throughout TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO. Those more familiar with Brown's latter work may be surprised to hear his delicate croon on "I Love You, Yes I Do," but the urgency and emotion Brown displays even in this early incarnation are par for the course. This album is also notable for the first appearance of St. Clair Pinckney, the saxophonist who would be a Brown mainstay for decades to come.
