The Godfather of Soul
James Brown
Over a 39 year period, James Brown has amassed an amazing total of 98 entries on Billboard's top 40 R&B singles Charts, a record unsurpassed by any other artist. Seventeen on them reached number one, a feat topped only by Stevie Wonder and Louis Jordan, and equaled only by Aretha Franklin.
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 backwoods family, he was sent to Augusta, Georgia at age 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 buckdancing and enticing them into his aunt's establishment. Singing gospel music and playing piano, drums, and guitar served as an emotional outlet for the young Brown.
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. His innovations during this period had a profound influence on popular music styles around the world, including fund, rock, Afro-pop, disco and eventually rap.
James Brown's status as "The Godfather of Soul" remains undiminished. 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 collections of accolades when he received a special lifetime achievement Grammy Award in 1992.
