A man of many names: The hardest working man in show
business, King of the one nighters, Soul Brother #1, the sex
machine ... but everyone knows who they mean. James Brown:
The Godfather of Soul. Since his first chart-topper in 1956,
he’s outlived, outlasted, and outperformed all rivals. He is
the funk-and-soul innovator and rap’s driving spirit. His
dazzling stage shows are legendary. Now James Brown tells
his own story, just as he plays his music: loud, proud, and
soulful. From his dirt-poor childhood in an Augusta brothel
to wealth and world fame and his recent incarceration, James
Brown takes a unique look behind the closed doors of
poverty, segregation, politics, and the music industry. With
photo inserts, brilliant anecdotes about Little Richard,
Elvis, Tina Turner, Otis Redding, Tammi Terrell, Michael
Jackson, and many others, plus a new updated introduction
and epilogue and an exhaustive discography.
