James Brown was a popular African-American early R&B singer. He has some really big hits such as I Got You (I Feel Good). According to Allmusic he was highly responsible for turning R&B into soul and soul into funk.
Here are some good songs. Their pretty hard to find on youtube, I usually use grooveshark but here are some of his songs.

There's probably no thread because everyone would already agree with you. James Brown is a frickin' musical genius.

my thoughts exactly lol

James Brown could be considered Godfather of soul AND funk

Aretha's got a similar influential status

I think I made one years ago, but we'll keep this. Great artist and an incredible performer.
Fixed the vids for you mate and welcome to the forum.

Thx. IM new but not that new, I made another post bout kid koala in rap

he was probably the most entertaining mofo that ever lived.
I loved watching his concerts where he'd play "I feel good" at double-speed for like thirty seconds, then go right into "please,please,please"....and there's also that drunken interview on youtube.

Full hearted agreement!!
James Brown is just too good.
Too awesome for a simple thread. He deserves a parade, with lots of glitter.
Clearly, he's that good. ;)

Just because this is so awesome... I'll post it in this thread too.

^that vid had to be posted


great how he goes all serious for a second when she asks him about the gospel magazine, then he goes back to shouting random ****.

James browns hillarious, he would like come out and then leave and make the audience get on their knees begging for hin to comeback.
