James Brown

James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer and bandleader. The founding father of funk music and a major figure of 20th century popular music and dance, he is often referred to as the "Godfather of Soul". In a career that spanned six decades, Brown influenced the development of several music genres.

Brown began his career as a gospel singer in Toccoa, Georgia. Joining an R&B vocal group called the Avons that later evolved to become the Flames, Brown served as the group's 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. Brown's success peaked in the 1960s with the live album Live at the Apollo and hit singles such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag", "I 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". Brown also became notable 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 in 2006 from congestive heart failure.

Brown

Brown is the color of dark wood or rich soil. Brown is a composite color; in printing or painting, brown is made by combining red, black and yellow, or red, yellow and blue. In the RGB color model used to make colors on television screens and computer monitors, brown is made by combining red and green, in specific proportions. The brown color is seen widely in nature, in wood, soil, and human hair color, eye color and skin pigmentation. In Europe and the United States, brown is the color most often associated with plainness, humility, the rustic, and poverty. Brown is also, according to public opinion surveys in Europe and the United States, the least favorite color of the public.

I Got You (I Feel Good)

"I Got You (I Feel Good)" is a song by James Brown. Recorded and released as a single in 1965, it was his highest charting song and is arguably his most widely known recording.

Description

"I Got You (I Feel Good)" is a twelve-bar blues with a brass-heavy instrumental arrangement similar to Brown's previous hit, "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag". It also features the same emphasis "on the one" (i.e. the first beat of the measure) that characterizes Brown's developing funk style. The lyrics have Brown exulting in how good he feels ("nice, like sugar and spice") now that he has the one he loves, his vocals punctuated by screams and shouts. The song includes an alto sax solo by Maceo Parker.

Precursors

"I Got You (I Feel Good)" developed from an earlier Brown-penned song, "I Found You", with a nearly identical melody and lyrics. "I Found You" had been recorded by Brown's back-up singer Yvonne Fair and released as a single (King 5594) in 1962, with little success.

In 1964, Brown recorded an early version of "I Got You (I Feel Good)" with a different arrangement, including a stuttering rhythm and prominent baritone sax line, under the title "I Got You". This version appeared on the Smash Records album Out of Sight and in the 1965 film Ski Party, in which Brown lip-synchs his performance. It was intended for a single release but was withdrawn due to a court order from King Records, with whom Brown was involved in a contract dispute.

Famous quotes by James Brown:

"Like Christ said, love thee one another. I learned to do that, and I learned to respect and be appreciative and thankful for what I had."

"I think what I came through is great, but my son can take it to another level, not having to fight racism. His mother's a Norwegian and I'm mixed up four or five times, so he can face the world."

"My expectations of other people, I double them on myself."

"My son don't have to say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud. He don't have to be called those crazy names."

"You can't teach others if you are living the same way."

"You only live once."

"I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know."

"Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that."

"Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things he's got it all."

"I want to say to you, Help yourself, so you can help someone else."

"When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, they go there to lose it."

"Thank God for the journey."

"When God took it, he accepted it; when he brought it back, he accepted it. That's what's happening with me."

"I'd like to cut down on the work a little bit."

"The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing."

"I did the thing with bonds, which was about 30 million dollars, and didn't get none of the money on them."

"I've been held responsible for taxes I know nothing about."

"You can take care of yourself, and God helps those who help themselves."

"I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated."

"I got a wife who likes expensive things, so she takes all the cash."

Famous quotes by James Brown:

"Like Christ said, love thee one another. I learned to do that, and I learned to respect and be appreciative and thankful for what I had."

"I think what I came through is great, but my son can take it to another level, not having to fight racism. His mother's a Norwegian and I'm mixed up four or five times, so he can face the world."

"My expectations of other people, I double them on myself."

"My son don't have to say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud. He don't have to be called those crazy names."

"You can't teach others if you are living the same way."

"You only live once."

"I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know."

"Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that."

"Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things he's got it all."

"I want to say to you, Help yourself, so you can help someone else."

"When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, they go there to lose it."

"Thank God for the journey."

"When God took it, he accepted it; when he brought it back, he accepted it. That's what's happening with me."

"I'd like to cut down on the work a little bit."

"The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing."

"I did the thing with bonds, which was about 30 million dollars, and didn't get none of the money on them."

"I've been held responsible for taxes I know nothing about."

"You can take care of yourself, and God helps those who help themselves."

"I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated."

"I got a wife who likes expensive things, so she takes all the cash."
