James Brown's People & King Funk
 |
The James Brown family of artists includes many great female singers, the "divas," and Brown's longtime right-hand man, Bobby Byrd. Also there are the J.B.s and other projects of the key soloists Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker. J.B.s LPs may or not include Brown singing and sometimes are recordings from the same sessions as regular James Brown releases. Also on King and Polydor are other artists discovered, promoted, or produced by Brown. The "People" label was created specifically for the growing crowd of artists associated with James Brown. Note to serious collectors: While no list of James Brown productions is absolute or complete, among the listings below are some titles not included in the excellent discography(s) found at the end of the James Brown autobiography (essential reading). A few other listings from that tome have been corrected or clarified here. We also hope, as always, to distinguish the good from the bad and the necessary from the irrelevant (for instance the gospel records of Kay Robinson). Also on King and Polydor are other artists discovered, promoted, or produced by Brown. The "People" label was created specifically for the growing crowd of artists associated with James Brown. Buying: Almost all the studio work is essential; by contrast the live albums always have been overrated. The original 45s have that great sound and sometimes unique B-side alternates or extensions. Joining the original LPs, some of which are impossibly rare, are essential new "from the vaults" releases and reissues. |
