James Brown, Godfather of Soul
Episode 6
Episode date - April 29, 2008
Our final show on the legacy of James Brown picks up in the early ‘70s and covers more years than all previous five shows combined.
The reasons for this are simple. The ‘disco’ years were not kind to someone as gritty and funky as James Brown, and his legal entanglements further distracted him from what did best.Nevertheless, there are quite a few highlights for us to cover.
