a time when James Brown's career was in commercial and artistic eclipse, when his entire 1960s catalog was out of print in the U.S., and when his work had been anthologized only in the inconsistent Soul Classics series, Polydor U.K. assembled the ideal two-LP hits compilation covering the first two decades of his work, from 1956's "Please, Please, Please" to 1976's "Get up Offa That Thing." "30 Golden Hits," proclaimed the cover, "21 Golden Years." On the inside of the foldout cover, Polydor listed the release dates and (U.S.) chart figures for each song, along with an essay by Cliff White. As a result, Solid Gold stood not only as a model for the many Brown compilations that would follow in later years, but also for the compilation boom in general; it was thorough, respectful, and focused. Like the best compilations, it forced a reassessment of its subject by concentrating on his best work and following it through the years. If there was ever any doubt that James Brown was the major figure of R&B in the '60s, it was erased here. At the same time, of course, by implication it closed the door on Brown as an innovator: Cliff White looked forward to 1998, when another 21 years in Brown's career would have gone by, but the appearance of this set was an acknowledgement that Brown's real accomplishments were behind him.
James Brown - I Got You (I Feel Good)
i love the way he moves!!!
James Brown - Say It Loud - I'm Black And I'm Proud
james brown doin what he does best!
James Brown - Mother Popcorn - 1969
What's interesting about james is that he ran a tight ship when it came to his band. The man was in total control. He had to be, to get the funk across. What a amazing man he was.
James Brown - Cold Sweat - Live 1968
James Brown - Get on the Good Foot - 1973
Does any current music star or group have this kind of energy and presence on stage, let alone pull off a performance like this?
James Brown - Sex Machine 1971
James used to fine his musicians every time they missed a note or a cue. That's why his bands were always perfect.
I like this version. A sedate, bluesy swing to it. love that first guitar playing those 2 chords.
Bass - The legendary James Jamerson. If you like any motown grooves, it is James Jamerson. When the Beatles first came to the USA, McCartney had one request - to meet James Jamerson. He never got the credit since Barry Gordy didn't list the studio musicians, but the bass was more often than not Jamerson. Bootsy is more flamboyant and recognizable, but Jamerson is in a league of his own
