James Brown: The Golden Greats
The icon’s greatest hits, bookended by Papa's Got a Brand New Bag on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1966 and I Got You on Saturday Night Live in 1980.
My takeA celebration of James Brown's most electrifying performances and greatest hits that gets your blood pumping. This is pure funk and soul energy—the kind of music that reminds you why rhythm and groove matter. Perfect for anyone who needs to feel alive and unstoppable.
