From the Soundboard is a show that focuses on
concerts regardless of genre. Artist and/or group perfecting the art of
“call and response” with its audience. In commemoration of the 4th
anniversary of his passing (December 25) on Wednesday, December 29, we
will focus on James Brown and The JBs.
“Soul Brother Number One,”
“the Godfather of Soul,” “the Hardest Working Man in Show Business,”
“Mr. Dynamite” — those are mighty titles, but no one can question that
James Brown earned them more than any other performer. Other singers
were more popular, others were equally skilled, but few other
African-American musicians were so influential over the course of
popular music. And no other musician, pop or otherwise, put on a more
exciting, exhilarating stage show: Brown’s performances were marvels of
athletic stamina and split-second timing. –Richie Unterberger (Al
