Title: music teacher and James Brown fan
Review: Of all the books I have in regards to Mr. Brown, I couldn't find the groove of this one. For me, it was trying to be too philosophical about Mr. Brown's career. (example: just because Mr. Brown is African American does not mean his music was inspired by some mystic African "spirits" from the "motherland;" maybe Mr. Brown just developed a new groove and went with it! Just because I have Scottish blood in me, doesn't mean I hear bagpipes in my sleep). There are certainly other books available that better describe Mr. Brown's life and career.
