Why This CD Matters
40th Anniversary Collection traces James Brown’s recorded career from early recordings such as “Please, Please, Please” and “Try Me” through his landmark soul and funk work of the 1960s and 1970s. The 40-track program includes “Papa's Got A Brand New Bag,” “I Got You (I Feel Good),” “Say It Loud - I'm Black And I'm Proud,” “Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine,” and “The Payback.” The chronological scope documents Brown’s transition from R&B and soul into the rhythm-driven recordings that became foundational to funk.
