| - James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American singer and dancer. The founding father of funk music and a major figure of 20th-century popular music and dance, he is often referred to as %22The Godfather of Soul%22. In a career that spanned six decades, Brown influenced the development of several music genres.Brown began his career as a gospel singer in Toccoa, Georgia. Joining an R&B vocal group called the Avons that later evolved to become The Flames, Brown served as the group's lead singer. First coming to national public attention in the late 1950s as a member of the singing group The Famous Flames with the hit ballads %22Please, Please, Please%22 and %22Try Me%22, Brown built a reputation as a tireless live performer with the Famous Flames and his backing band, sometimes known as the James Brown Band or the James Brown Orchestra. Brown's success peaked in the 1960s with the live album Live at the Apollo and hit singles such as %22Papa's Got a Brand New Bag%22, %22I Got You (I Feel Good)%22 and %22It's a Man's Man's Man's World%22. During the late 1960s, Brown moved from a continuum of blues and gospel-based forms and styles to a profoundly %22Africanized%22 approach to music-making that influenced the development of funk music. By the early 1970s, Brown had fully established the funk sound after the formation of The J.B.'s with records such as %22Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine%22 and %22The Payback%22. Brown also became notable for songs of social commentary, including the 1968 hit %22Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud%22. Brown continued to perform and record until his death in 2006 from congestive heart failure.Brown recorded 16 singles that peaked at number-one on the Billboard R&B charts. Brown also holds the record for the most singles listed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart which did not reach number-one. Brown has been honored by many institutions including inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame. In Joel Whitburn's analysis of the Billboard R&B charts from 1942 to 2010, James Brown is ranked as number one in The Top 500 Artists. Brown is ranked seventh on the music magazine Rolling Stone's list of its 100 greatest artists of all time. Rolling Stone has also cited Brown as the most sampled artist of all time.
