James Brown: The Godfather of Soul | |
James Brown's explosive biography is now the major Hollywood film directed by Tate Taylor (THE HELP) and produced by Mick Jagger, GET ON UP.
James Brown: A man who played 350 shows a year at his peak. Who broke the colour barrier of 1950s and '60s pop. Who supported the Civil Rights movement through his music, playing a racially charged Boston in the hours after Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination and travelling to Vietnam to support black troops. Who won and lost several fortunes. And who became one of the greatest musical innovators of all time...
In his own words, this is the incredible life story of the Godfather of Soul, giving the inside story of his life and music, taking the reader on a journey from his impoverished childhood to his evolution into one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.
With photos, unmissable anecdotes about Little Richard, Elvis, Tina Turner, Otis Redding, Tammi Terrell, Michael Jackson, and many others, plus an updated introduction and epilogue and an exhaustive discography.

This is an amazing book. Bruce Tucker (who shares the credit and presumably did the actual writing) captures Brown's voice perfectly, and his simple, graphic description of Brown's hard times, early in his life, are all the more powerful because of their understatement. This is not a lightweight celebrity book. It's a real biography, by a writer who obviously cares deeply for the music that Brown made. A very fine piece of work depicting a unique music innovator and a relentless personality who started with nothing but overcame every obstacle--other than the IRS and the criminal justice system.
Great book by Mr. Brown himself. I needed this book after seeing the movie and I was not disappointed reading it. I appreciate the list of songs in the back of the book and it shows details on the year it was recorded. I love me some James Brown!!!
This is a very interesting book. I didn't enjoy the Introduction because of the way it was written--one sentence might be 7 lines long. But the book itself was well written and an easy read. I really enjoyed it.
The writing is not the best, tho it's not terrible. Even with saying that, the book is full of interesting details of Mr. Brown's life. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him a little more.
