James Brown

Počas svojej viac ako 50-ročnej kariéry sa James Brown stal známym ako zakladateľ funku a ovplyvnil vývoj mnohých ďalších žánrov. Všetky jeho hity, skryté poklady a spolupráce sú teraz zoskupené na albume Collected. Obsahuje 29 skladieb vrátane hudby z jeho raných dní s Famous Flames, J.B.’s a širokú zbierku skladieb z jeho sólovej kariéry. Brown začal svoju kariéru ako gospelový spevák a v 50. rokoch 20. storočia sa pripojil k rytmickej a bluesovej vokálnej skupine Famous Flames ako hlavný spevák. Neskôr si založil vlastnú kapelu a vydal úspešné single ako „Papa's Got a Brand New Bag“, „I Got You (I Feel Good)“ a „It's a Man's Man's Man's World“. Popri rozvíjaní funku na novú úroveň vytvoril skupinu J.B.’s, s ktorou napísal hity ako „Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine“ a „The Payback“. Brown bol uvedený do prvej triedy Siene slávy rytmickej a bluesovej hudby, Siene slávy rock and rollu a Siene slávy skladateľov. V priebehu rokov získal rôzne čestné prezývky vrátane „Krstný otec soulu“, „Pán Dynamit“, „Najťažšie pracujúci muž v šoubiznise“ a „Soulový brat č. 1“.
