James Brown
James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American singer, songwriter, dancer, musician, record producer and bandleader.
A progenitor of funk music and a major figure of 20th century music and dance, he is often referred to as the "Godfather of Soul" and
"Soul Brother
No. 1".
In a career that lasted over 50 years, he influenced the development of several music genres.
Brown began his career as a gospel singer in Toccoa, Georgia.
He joined a rhythm and blues vocal group, the Gospel Starlighters (which later evolved into the Famous Flames) founded by Bobby Byrd, in which he was the lead singer.
First coming to national public attention in the late 1950s as a member of the singing group
The Famous Flames with the hit ballads "Please, Please, Please" and "Try Me", Brown built a reputation as a tireless live performer with the Famous Flames and his backing band, sometimes known as the James Brown Band or the James Brown Orchestra.
His success peaked in the 1960s with the live album "Live at the Apollo" and hit singles such as "Papa's Got a Brand New
BagI
Got You
(I Feel Good)" and
"It's a Man's Man's Man's World".
During the late 1960s, Brown moved from a continuum of blues and gospel-based forms and styles to a profoundly "Africanized" approach to music-making that influenced the development of funk music.
By the early 1970s, Brown had fully established the funk sound after the formation of the J.B.s with records such as
"Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine" and "The Payback".
He also became noted for songs of social commentary, including the 1968 hit "Say It Loud
– I'm Black
and I'm Proud".
Brown continued to perform and record until his death from pneumonia in 2006.
Brown recorded 17 singles that reached No. 1 on the "Billboard" R&B charts.
He also holds the record for the most singles listed on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart which did not reach No. 1.
Brown was inducted into 1st class of the Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2013 as an artist and then in 2017 as a songwriter.
He also received honors from many other institutions, including inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame.
In Joel Whitburn's analysis of the "Billboard" R&B charts from 1942 to 2010, Brown is ranked No. 1 in The Top 500 Artists.
He is ranked No. 7 on "Rolling Stone" list of its 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. "
Rolling Stone" has also cited Brown as the most sampled artist of all time.
I Don't Mind (James Brown song)
"I Don't Mind" is a rhythm and blues song written by James Brown and performed by Brown and the Famous Flames.
Its unusual chord progression – in Brown's words, it "opens with a 13, goes down to a C9, then goes to a G7 and to the A7" – prompted objections during the recording session from producer Gene Redd, who considered it musically "wrong".
Released as a single in 1961, it reached number four in the R&B "Billboard" charts and number 47 in the Pop "Billboard" charts.
Brown and the Flames also performed it on their 1963 album "Live at the Apollo".
