Limited to 5000 copies. Paper sleeve. SAY IT LOUD - I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD was James Brown's initial album release for 1969, as KING 5-1047 in stereo within a gatefold jacket. It was preceded by A SOULFUL CHRISTMAS and followed by GETTIN' DOWN TO IT, his great jazzy album backed by The Dee Felice Trio. It was also released simultaneously in England, France, Germany and Spain. In 1990 it was available for the first time on CD from Japan, and later had a US release in 1996. That's the version I would recommend, I'm not sure that the Japanese imports have the track info and liner notes in English.

It’s the most definitive collection of 50’s oldies music ever offered with teen idols, rockabilly rebels, music legends, love songs, instrumentals and novelties.
In 1958 a Los Angeles DJ named Art Laboe coined the term “Oldies But Goodies.” Art had a great idea – why not put all the rock and roll records that teenagers really loved on one LP. That was the very first Oldies But Goodies album and it made rock and roll history. Now, Time Life offers the Ultimate Oldies But Goodies music collection. This oldies collection includes 8 Oldies But Goodies CDs plus two absolutely FREE CDs with 30 songs, totaling 10 CDs with 158 songs and a 32 page booklet.

There is a strange but beautiful irony that occurs when an artist writes a great song upon the death of a loved one. Doubtful that Brian Culbertson was aiming for one of Somethin' Bout Love's (Atlantic) most emotionally rich tunes when he wrote the powerful gospel of "I'm Gonna Miss You" for his late manager Howard Lowe II, but he and co-writer/vocalist Lori Perry achieve just that. Unlike similar tunes in American culture that come across as generic, the poignant lyrics are specific to the artist-manager relationship, adding to the tune's uniqueness.
