James Brown: Godfather of Soul

ernietse

if you really don't know his soul music, I guess must have heard  his "LIVING IN AMERICA" from ROCKY 4 movie

his live performance is always better than studio album

BUT too bad he is dead

this is my favourite song of all his soul collection: IT"S A MAN'S WORLD

very soulful and unique of soul ballad having deep soul meaning inside to celebrate and pay tributes to so many singers with soul

Soundboy

He is "Soul Brother No. 1" and the "Godfather of Soul"!
