This show covers the era when James Brown became a full blown phenomenon. Although he had troubles with his record label, and recorded only 3 tracks for the entirety of 1963, he was extraordinarily busy. He started his own publishing company (Fair Deal) , his own label (Try Me), and began developing other recording.
Once the Beatles hit, he started recording again with a vengeance, in various styles. On one side, he recorded a batch of classic songs with full orchestration. With the Parker brothers Maceo and Marvin, he started working on a few unusual ideas of his own, rhythmic experiments that were based almost exclusively on feel. When the songs became huge hits, two things became obvious; 1) James Brown really was the hardest working man in show business, and 2) Papa had a brand new bag.
Here’s the list of remarkable songs featured in today’s show;
1) Out of the Blue
2) Maybe the Last Time
3) Mona Lisa
4) Nature Boy
5) I Want to Be Around
6) Come Rain or Come Shine
7) Out of Sight
8) Papa's Got a Brand New Bag
9) I Got You (I Feel Good)
10) Ain't That a Groove
11) It's a Man's Man's Man's Man's World
12) Don't Be a Dropout
13) Bring It Up (Hipster's Avenue)
