70's Funk Classic [Collectables]

Performer: James Brown
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: Collectables' James Brown's 70's Funk Classics is a pretty good budget-priced, ten-track collection containing some of the Godfather of Soul's most popular songs of the era including "Funky President (People It's Bad)," "Sex Machine" and "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved." Please note that this edition includes the exact same track listing and cover art as the 1995 Polygram Special Markets release of the same name. ~ Al Campbell This 11-track collection includes the best tracks from Brown's '70s funk period, like "Sex Machine," "The Payback," "Think '73," "Make It Funky" and "My Thang." ~ Keith Farley

The unrelenting intensity of James Brown's music has made him one of the most recognizable and influential performers since the 1950s. Starting out as a gospel singer, Brown soon switched to R&B and started scoring hits. As the '60s progressed, the self-proclaimed Godfather of Soul transformed the sounds of R&B into a tight, driving style that helped lay the foundations of funk. Personal troubles over the following decades threatened to sideline the ever-impassioned Brown, but he repeatedly bounced back. Countless JB samples--credited and uncredited--found on rap and hip-hop records testify to his enduring influence. The Godfather of Soul passed away on Christmas Day in 2006.
