Notes

"Between 1960 and 1967 James Brown honed his live revue to become the best ticket in town. James recorded both his band and his singers on some of the finest proto funk R&B records ever. Here are the best of those recordings on one CD for the first time."

Standard Jewel Case.
Includes 16 page insert booklet with liner notes for each track, scans of the original 45s and photography.

Insert incorrectly credits Vicki Anderson with vocals on track 6. Main track-listing shows artist as Anna King. Correct credit used below.

Album

As prolific a recording artist as James Brown was in the 1960s, and as busy a touring machine as the one he led on the road was, he somehow found time to produce and work on numerous discs by other artists. With many of the late James Brown's most famous recordings rendered almost unlistenable through overfamiliarity, the chance to check out his work producing other artists should provide access to undiscovered , it looks like we dont know much about this album. Can you help us out Add artwork. Start the wiki. Tag this album. Do you have the artwork for this album Add artwork. by Various Artists. Released: June 30, is no higher force in the world of funk than James Brown, the Godfather of Soul. He has been anthologised, compiled, sampled and, of course, danced to for over 40 years. Nevertheless, he recorded so much that there are corners of his immense catalogue that havent been investigated. It is our intense pleasure at BGP to be able to shine a light onto Browns mid-60s productions on The Godfathers R&B. These are every bit as good as his later, more famous, funk productions.
