Product Description
From Amazon.com
A towering figure in postwar American music, for over 40 years James Brown has written, produced, and performed some of the most compelling R&B ever recorded. 20 All Time Greatest Hits! distills Startime!, itself a four-CD set that barely scratched the surface of Brown's prodigious output. As such, this collection concentrates on Brown's best-known records: "I Feel Good," "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," and "Cold Sweat." The propulsive one- or two-chord vamps with Brown's hoarse, declamatory vocals laid the groundwork for modern funk. It's a perfect starter set for anyone unfamiliar with Brown's work. But be warned--Brown is addictive. Like peanuts and potato chips, it's impossible to stop with just one. Buy this and don't be surprised if one day you find yourself scouring used record bins for a rare copy of Grits and Cornbread. --Steven Mirkin
CD Description
This is, essentially, a pared-down budget version of STAR TIME, the definitive 4-CD James Brown box also released in 1991, and no finer one-disc Brown greatest-hits album exists. Obviously, 20 ALL TIME GREATEST HITS! doesn't include everything of note that the Godfather of Soul recorded, but it certainly gets all the high points, from gritty '50s R&B ("Please Please Please") to '60s soul hits ("Think", "Night Train", "It's a Man's World") to his underrated soundtrack work ("The Payback") to the funk explosions ("Super Bad", "Hot Pants", "Mother Popcorn") that are probably Brown's most lastingcontribution to 20th century pop. If you can't afford the box set, pounce.
