20 All Time Greatest Hits by James Brown

Pros: Packed full of soul and funk hits, this is a good overview of Brown's career
Cons: Not exactly a complete collection

Want to study up on soul and funk but invest just a few bucks? This disc, then, is essential. Indeed, this has no less than 20 songs that are closely identified with the Godfather of Soul. While it leaves a lot to be desired, I challenge anyone to find a...

Pros: Good collection of the Godfather of Soul's music
Cons: Doesn't have all of his great songs

I didn't like the first Epinion I put on this disc, due to the fact that it sounded remedial and was lacking for information. (Sorry for those who rated it and now have to read it all over again) Therefore, I'm reviewing this thing again with a ...

Pros: Features an hours worth of funky grooves and catchy lyrics.
Cons: None!

Every now and then, I get into the mood to listen to music that makes it funky. It's the truth! Music with funkified cadences cover quite a bit of musical ground and make me want to getting up offa my thing and getting on the good foot. So today, I ...

Pros: All 2o tracks are landmark SOUL classics!
Cons: None!

Like Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder, James Brown possessed the uncanny ability of having a distinguished, instantly recognisable and unique vocal style of his own. In his case, his primal vocal delivery was capable ...

Pros: Excellent sample of Brown's hits
Cons: It leaves out some of his best work

If you are a James Brown fan, or a funk fan, don't buy this album. If you are interested in James Brown and want to get into a little more of his music, or if the wonderful world of funk makes you curious, than you have found a nice CD to start your...

Pros: classic funky soulful songs

I've liked James Brown for awhile now but only had one tape, so I got this one because it's got all the major hits: "I Got You (I Feel Good)", "Get Up", "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag", etc. etc. 20 songs, ranging from funky...

Pros: a must have

Pros: Great Songs That Make You Want To Jump And Groove
Cons: Barely Scratches The Surface

This album is a great collection of all of James Brown's absolute mega-hits. Of course he has written so many great songs that this is simply a skimming of the absolute best songs. I had no real James Brown albums before I bought this one, but I had...

Pros: good rhythm, best of the best
Cons: none that I can think of

If you like the Godfather of Soul, you'll love this album. The rhythm and beat can not be matched by todays artists. His faster songs make you want to get up and dance. I even play his CD when I work out because it gives a good rhythm for working out....
