James Joseph Brown, Jr.

American singer, songwriter, and musician.

Born: 3 May 1933 near Barnwell, South Carolina, USA.

Died: 25 December 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA (aged 73).

James Brown was raised in poverty in Augusta, Georgia.

1950s: Joined the Gospel Starlighters in 1953, a vocal quartet led by Bobby Byrd, after completing a four-year stint in prison for robbery. As Brown became the focal point of the act, the group changed its name to ‘The Famous Flames’ and its focus from gospel to R&B. In 1955 The Famous Flames record “Please Please Please” at the studio of WIBB in Macon, Georgia. In 1958 James Brown’s first No1 hit, “Try Me”, is released. It was the best-selling R&B single of 1958, and the first of 17 chart-topping R&B singles by Brown over the next two decades.

1965: Records “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag”, a revolutionary single that ushers in a whole new era of soul music. Released that summer, it tops the R&B chart for eight weeks and even cracks the pop Top Ten.
