A little background on James Brown (courtesy of All Music Guide):

James Joseph Brown (born James Joseph Brown, Jr.) (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006), was an American singer and entertainer. Referred to as "The Godfather of Soul", Brown is recognized as one of the most influential figures in the 20th century popular music and was renowned for his vocals and feverish dancing. He was also called "the hardest working man in show business". As a prolific singer, songwriter, dancer and bandleader, Brown was a pivotal force in the music industry. He left his mark on numerous artists. Brown's music also left its mark on the rhythms of African popular music, such as afrobeat, jùjú and mbalax, and provided a template for go-go music. Brown began his professional music career in 1956 and rose to fame during the late 1950s and early 1960s on the strength of his thrilling live performances and string of smash hits. In spite of various personal problems and setbacks he continued to score hits in every decade through the 1980s. In addition to his acclaim in music, Brown was also a presence in American political affairs during the 1960s and 1970s. Brown was recognized by numerous titles, including Soul Brother Number One, Sex Machine, Mr. Dynamite, The Hardest Working Man in Show Business, The King of Funk, Minister of The New New Super Heavy Funk, Mr. Please Please Please Please Her, I Feel Good, and foremost The Godfather of Soul. In the song "Sweet Soul Music" by Arthur Conley, he is described as the King of Soul.

James Brown - Original Funk Soul Brother (2000,Soul, 2CD 320)

James Brown stripped down his touring band somewhat in the early 1980s, streamlining it until the group served up the funk with a laser's precision and the propulsive force of an atomic steamroller. Hypnotic, powerful and the absolute template for the role of sex machine, Brown was one of the most dynamic stage performers in the history of pop music, and his band was so rehearsed and sharp that it could change directions with the simple dip of one of Brown's shoulders or the stomp of one of his boot heels, and to see this unit in concert was to fully realize that Brown's singles, electrifying as they were, didn't tell the half of it. This two-disc set combines two of Brown's '80s concerts, with disc one consisting of a 1980 date at Studio 54 in New York from 1980 and disc two featuring a gig at Chastain Park in Atlanta from 1984. There is some duplication in material, but it hardly matters, because when you're being plowed over again and again by a steamroller it probably isn't too important whether it's the same steamroller or not. This is Brown and the J.B.'s in their natural habitat, and while the sound quality here is ragged in spots, it never lacks energy and it punches like a heavyweight, even when things gear down for a moving version of "Georgia on My Mind." allmusic.com
