James Brown- You Call It Soul (1LP)

The Godfather Of Soul

James Brown zählt zu den bedeutendsten Musikern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Von Rhythm & Blues und Gospelmusik geprägt entwickelte er schnell seinen eigenen Stil und wurde so zum Godfather Of Soul. Viele seiner Hits, wie Please, Please, Please oder I Got You (I Feel Good) sind heute absolute Klassiker. Neben seiner herausragenden Stimme war James Brown auch ein Ausnahme-Performer. Sein extravaganter Tanzstil, seine unglaublich engen Hosen und sein Hang zu Make-Up machen seine Auftritte bis heute unvergessen und inspirierte eine ganze Generation kommender Popmusiker. Beim legendären Boxkampf „Rumble In The Jungle“ zwischen Muhammad Ali und George Forman in Zaire war James Brown der Showact. Er war viermal verheiratet und trotz Millionen verkaufter Platten einige Male komplett pleite, zudem verbrachte er sogar zwei Jahre im Gefängnis. Der mehrfache Grammy Gewinner hat sein Leben gelebt und uns Musik für die Ewigkeit hinterlassen.
