Papa's Got a Brand New Bag

Product Information

James Brown scored his first Top 10 pop single in 1965 with "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag," and the hits kept coming for the next decade. He gradually phased out the Flames, and the gospel and blues structure of his early records gave way to open-ended vamps that emphasized his rhythmically riveting sandpaper, tonal scream-yelling vocals and the complex funk syncopations of his talented band. His innovations during this period had a profound influence on popular music styles around the world, including funk, rock, Afro-pop, disco and eventually rap. James Brown's status as "The Godfather Of Soul" remains undiminished. Indeed, he has picked up a new generation of fans who have become familiar with his funk grooves through their overuse as samples on rap records. A charter member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Brown also received a special lifetime achievement Grammy Award in 1992.
