The Godfather and undisputed heavy weight champion of Soul Music. From
Soul Patrol Vol. 1, check out Brown - a Barnwell, S.C., native - and his inovative poly-rhythm dance
classic, "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag".
For the true collector of great R&B, check out two J. B.
efforts found exclusively on Ripete releases. From 1959 and the Federal Records' vaults, it's
James and the Famous Flames with "Don't Let It Happen To Me" (in beautiful wide-dimension
stereo), and "What My Baby Needs Now (Is Just A Little More Lovin'), both found in Ocean
Drive Vol. 4.
Speaking of Brown's great backing band, The Famous Flames,
you'll find new recordings from James' legendary saxophonist, Maceo Parker, as a featured guest
artist on The Embers' "Let's Have A Party" CD. Parker lays down his patented
sax work on the title track.
