This 29-track set follows him from the raw, gospel-soaked R\u0026amp;B of the Famous Flames through the revolution he started with the J.B.'s and on to his eighties comeback. Along the way it shows how he moved the emphasis to the first beat of the bar and turned the whole band into a drum kit, laying the foundations for funk, disco and hip-hop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt starts at the very beginning with \"Please, Please, Please\", his 1956 debut, all pleading and desperation. \"Papa's Got a Brand New Bag\" is where the funk truly arrives, horns punching like a boxer. \"Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine\" locks into a hypnotic groove that never lets go, while \"Funky Drummer\" holds one of the most sampled breakbeats in recorded history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sequencing lets you hear the evolution side by side, the ballads, the horn stabs, the tight rhythm guitars and Brown's shouts and screams directing it all like a bandleader possessed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a single, generous survey of the hardest working man in show business, it is hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67768838390050,"sku":"602488533973","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/James_Brown-Collected_2LP_Gold_Holland_Import_a59323b3-2523-4c01-afac-d51391a554be.jpg?v=1794377257","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/james-brown-collected-2lp-gold-holland-import","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
