BIOGRAPHY:
James Brown was born on May 3, 1933 in Macon (Georgie, the USA)
in a poor family. He is very quickly confronted with the hardness
of the life and must follow his parents in the fields to collect
cotton or to wax shoes in the centre town of Augusta or his/her
parents times settled little after its birth. It is quickly
confronted with violence and takes part in an armed attack in
age the sixteen years. It is in prison that it will make the
meeting of Bobby Byrd and will become member of its group of
gospel in 1952. James Brown quickly becomes the leader of the
group which will record two albums and will revolutionize the
world of the rythm and blues. In 1963, the “Live exit
of the album live At Apollo” complete the success of the
singer and propels it to the row of national star. He connects
the albums and the tubes until 1970 and the exit of from now
on traditional "Sex Machine".
James Brown becomes
less prolific starting from the middle of the Sixties ten, and
1985 should be waited until to find it at the top of its form
with the title "Living room In America" which is used
for the original band of the film "Rocky IV". Alas,
return on the front of the scene quickly stopped bus James is
condemned to six years of prison for detention of weapons. Thereafter,
it will alternate the arrests for marital violence (groom 4
times, he is father of 6 children) possession of drugs, etc.
Its services scenic continue to carry out it to the four corners
of the world but James Brown does not leave that very little
albums studios even if it takes part regularly in the recording
of titles with other group ("They Don' T Want Music",
with Black Eyed Peas into 2005). He dies on December 25, 2006
in Atlanta leaving in the world music a heritage made up of
more than 75 albums having been worth to him, not without reason,
the nickname of "The Godfather of Soul".
