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 take

Pure funk energy bottled into one essential document. James Brown's greatest hits remind you why he's the Godfather of Soul—this is the kind of music that moves your body before your brain catches up. Perfect for when you need to feel alive.
