James Brown
Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopædi
James Brown (født James Joseph Brown, Jr. den 3. maj 1933 i Barnwell, South Carolina, død den 25. december 2006 i Atlanta, Georgia) var en afro-amerikansk kunstner, anerkendt som en af de mest indflydelsesrige personer i det 20. århundredes musik. Som en karismatisk sanger, sangskriver, orkesterleder og pladeproducent har Brown haft en meget stor andel i udviklingen af gospel og rhythm and blues til soul og funk. Han har også påvirket utallige andre genrer inklusiv rock, jazz, reggae, disco, dance, elektronisk musik og hiphop-musik.
James Brown var gift fire gange, og var kendt under adskillige tilnavne, hvoraf det mest berømte nok er Godfather of Soul ("Soulmusikkens gudfar").
