James Brown and His Famous Flames

== Info ==
Considered the "Godfather of Soul", Brown was noted for his powerful style. Tributed and honored many times. Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 1992. Inducted into multiple halls of fame. Initially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alone. In 2012, it was discovered that, by inducting Smokey Robinson without his backing group, the Hall was violating their criteria that the artist's first record must have been released 25 years prior. This led to a special committee which inducted long neglected backing groups. These included the Famous Flames. His other backing group, The J.B.'s were on the ballot for the class of 2016, but were not inducted.
