James Brown - JB40: 40th Anniversary Collection
JB40: 40th Anniversary Collection Review
This double disc serves as an excellent recap of Brown's long classic period, beginning with 1956's "Please, Please, Please" and ending with the great disco-era single "It's Too Funky in Here." A great party album and undeniable space saver but inevitably no match for the four-CD Star Time box. --Rickey Wright

RTHYM AND BLUES THE WAY IT SHOULD BE SUNG!!!

IN THE 50'S WHEN I WAS GROWING UP I USED TO TUNE IN TO BLACK MUSIC STATIONS. IT WAS SOO MUCH FUN FOR ME TO LISTEN TO A DIFFERENT KIND OF VERY SOULFUL AND BEAUTIFUL SOUND. I JUST LOVED LISTENING AND LEARNING ALL I COULD ABOUT JAMES BROWN, ETTA JAMES,SOLOMON BURKE,LAVERN BAKER, JACKIE WILSON ETC. I PARTICULARLY LOVED HEARING THE BALLADS YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS FANTASTIC ALBUM. IT'S THE JAMES BROWN SOME PEOPLE NEVER KNEW.HE WAS TO ME, AT HIS ULTIMATE BEST!"TRY ME", "PLEASE,PLEASE, PLEASE" ARE AMONGST HIS BEST SONGS.BY THE TIME THESE SINGERS BECAME CROSSOVERS (THANKS TO DICK CLARK'S "AMERICAN BANDSTAND" FROM PHILADELPHIA) I ALREADY WAS FAMILIAR WITH THEM, WHILE MY FRIENDS WERE NOT.LET THIS INCREDIBLE ALBUM TAKE YOU BACK TO THOSE DAYS, SO THAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO RTHYM AND BLUES THE WAY IT SHOULD BE SUNG!BUY THIS C.D. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST. THEN YOU WILL WANT TO EXPLORE THE MUSIC OF SOME OF THE OTHER SINGERS I'VE MENTIONED FROM THOSE TIMES.DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE. THEY'RE THE ORIGINAL SONGS AS I REMEMBER THEM!!!

Super Bad Funk!

James Brown changed the course of R&B forever in the 1960s. This collection only serves to remind us of his valuable contribution - to virtually every genre of popular music. This is pure(sometimes demented!)funk.

The only thing missing is seeing him dance. Everybody from Sly to George Clinton, Prince and Jackson crawled out of his pocket.

better than 'star time'!

That's blasphemous to some of you readers, I'm sure, but hey, at one time I owned both sets. I kept 40th because it has "Down and Out in NY City"; 'Star Time' does not. Anyway, I found myself going for the 40th set whenever I needed some JB. I guess I just don't have the time or patience to wade through box sets anymore.
As for the music, well what can I say? The man INVENTED funk and rap. Think about that -- James Brown invented two musical genres. It boggles the mind. EVERY R&B performer who came after him owes their career to "the Hardest Working Man in Show Business", "Soul Brother #1", "Mr. Dynamite", "the Godfather of Soul", ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. James Brown!
This set has the songs in chronological order so you get to follow his progress from journeyman soul balladeer to one of the most important figures in 20th century music.
"Sex Machine" is one of the greatest songs ever conceived by the mind of man....
The one complaint I have is you can't see James performing this stuff...
So, if you have the $ and the time, get 'Star Time'. But if you're like me 'JB40' is where it's at. Hunh! good gawd!
