James Brown - The Godfather of Soul. By now, Brown's accomplishments deserve a volume in the Encyclopedia Britannica: he's charted more pop singles than anyone except Elvis Presley, he was elected as a charter member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he's considered the creator of funk, and he's one of the most imitated artists of the rock and soul era
.
Brown's rise from juvenile delinquent to Soul Brother Number One is among the great modern day American success stories. The only child of a poor family, he was sent to Augusta, Georgia at the age of five to live at an aunt's brothel. He earned his keep by running errands for soldiers at nearby Camp Gordon, entertaining them with his dancing and enticing them into his aunt's establishment. Singing gospel music along with playing piano, drums, and guitar served as an emotional outlet for the young Brown.
In 1952, Brown settled in Georgia and joined the gospel group the Starlighters, a quartet led by Bobby Byrd. Eventually the Starlighters evolved into a rhythm and blues outfit. They were originally known as the Avons, then as the Flames.
In November 1955, while based in Macon, Georgia, the Flames cut a demonstration record at radio station WIBB of an original tune titled "Please, Please, Please." While passing through Atlanta, record producer Ralph Bass heard the demo and was so impressed with Brown's impassioned lead and the group's hard harmonies that he immediately drove to Macon and signed them to King Records. A session was held in Ohio the following week. Released on King's Federal label two months later, in March of 1956, "Please, Please, Please" reached number five on the billboard's R&B chart.
Brown scored his first Top 10 pop single in 1965 with "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag", and the hits kept coming for the next decade, one after another at an unheard-of rate. He gradually phased out the Flames, and the gospel structure of his early records. His musical innovations had a profound influence on popular music styles around the world, including funk, rock, Afro-pop, disco and eventually rap.
James Brown's status as "The Godfather of Soul" remains undiminished. Brown's enthusiasm and faith have never wavered. Indeed, he has picked up a new generation of fans who have become familiar with his funk grooves through their frequent use as samples on rap records. A charter member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Brown added to his collection of accolades when he received a special lifetime achievement Grammy Award in 1992.
