James Brown, also known as the Godfather of Soul and the Hardest Working Man in Show Business, had a career that would put any others in the business to shame. He worked tirelessly until his unfortunate demise on Christmas day in 2006 writing, recording and performing some of Soul and Funk’s true classics. He notched up an impressive 17 R&B #1’s including ‘It’s A Man’s Man’s World’, ‘I Got You (I Feel Good)’, ‘Make It Funky’ and ‘Super Bad’.
