Title: James Brown | James Brown Sings Raw Soul

Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1967, Soul, Deep Soul, Augusta

Matrix #: 1016 STEREO

Condition: EX (CC)

Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle Brown grew up in extreme poverty in Georgia and South Carolina, including time shining shoes and spending his teens in juvenile detention before music changed his life.
2. Band Drama His bands ran on fear, fines, and total discipline; players could be docked onstage for missed cues, which made the machine tight but the atmosphere brutal.
3. Media Narrative By the late 60s Brown was becoming more than a singer, turning into a symbol of Black pride, ambition, and control in a country coming apart politically.
