An entire album of JB covers sounds initially like a project which has got up on the bad foot, but this long-player from Harmless, subtitled "in the footsteps of the godfather of funk" by its compiler (respected journalist James Maycock) works on so many levels that it adds up to an essential purchase for funk aficionados. While some tracks pay homage others, like the Daktaris' "Give It Up or Turn It Loose," stray far from the original, as the bongo-rocked spoken word of the Last Poets vision encapsulates not the material of James Brown, but the man himself. Of course, despite the effort of some superb performers (Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, and Lou Pride amongst them), there is nothing quite like the man himself with the highlight taking the form of a spectacular 12-minute live performance of "Cold Sweat." Clyde Stubblefield and Nate Jones provide the super tight rhythm section, whipping the number-one soul brother into a twisting dervish – breathtaking.

Le James Brown funk c'est le James Brown qui ne se contente pas du langage R&B et surtout soul des 60's. La soul, ce médium positif, qui n'a pas coupé le cordon avec le gospel, et tente d'allier sophistication des arrangements et pop music (au vrai sens de musique populaire). Leurs génies même ne lui suffisent pas. Et contrairement à un Nat King Cole, James n'aspire pas à rentrer dans une case façonnée par les Blancs. Il sait très bien qu'à son apogée, LeRoi Jones écrira « James Brown est notre poète noir n°1 ». Mais avant de porter une telle armure, James Brown ne pouvait échapper au conte de fée que la bannière étoilée aime raconter à ses enfants les soirs d'hiver près de la cheminée. Ces histoires improbables d'un moins que rien langé dans les eaux anthracites des caniveaux des bleds pouilleux du sud de l'Amérique, qui se termine sur des affiches placardées en lettres de feu dans les plus grandes salles de concerts du territoire et du reste du monde.

"Soul Brother Number One," "The Godfather of Soul," "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business," "Mr. Dynamite" – those are mighty titles, but no one can question that James Brown earned them more than any other performer. Other singers were more popular, others were equally skilled, but few other musicians were so influential over the course of popular music. And no other musician put on a more exciting, exhilarating stage show

The cars of the Nite Train put on the aliases as you put on the beads of an ebony necklace: Mister Dynamyte, The Hardest Working Man in Show Business, Soul Brother Number One, The Godfather of Soul. James Brown is all at once. A lot for a single man who surfed over several decades, over several audiences, over several Americas. Above all, James Brown is constantly close to the concerns of Mr. everyone as Ray Charles moves away from the soul and Sam Cooke begins to be booked in Las Vegas. The James Brown funk is the James Brown that is not content with the R&B language and especially soul of the 60's.

During the late 1960s, Brown moved from a continuum of blues and gospel-based forms and styles to a profoundly "Africanized" approach to music-making, emphasizing stripped-down and interlocking rhythms, that influenced the development of funk music. By the early 1970s, Brown had fully established the funk sound after the formation of the J.B.s with records such as "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine" and "The Payback". He also became noted for songs of social commentary, including the 1968 hit "Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud". Brown continued to perform and record until his death from pneumonia in 2006.

Needless to say it wasn't a stretch for the late James Brown to play at Studio 54, the storied palace of decadence and dance. The funk he laid down from the beginning dug the foundation for the good-time sounds and musical sophistication of the genre. It's also true that in 1980 when this was recorded, disco music itself was way on the wind down, giving way to a much more urbane form of dancefloor soul. But this performance is as hot, sweaty, and full of backbone slip groove as anything else, despite rather dodgy sound quality (sounds like a worn board tape). The Godfather lays down his hits as professionally as ever with some interesting textures in the arrangements and horn charts to accent the disc's reliance on circular rhythm, repetitive basslines, and hopped up dynamics. Brown could truly run the spectrum, but only does so on "Please, Please, Please," and the medley of "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" and "Lost Someone" (and you can feel the restlessness of a crowd who wants to do more lines and dance). He gives them plenty more of that as the speeds of his up-tempo numbers are furious, revved but deeper in the pocket to encourage the free-form aspects of the disco for the serious dancers. The band is spot on and never played better, so utterly tight, focused and "on" that the groove never suffers and in fact transcends the Godfather himself at times.
