James Brown was a singer, songwriter, bandleader and dancer known as "The Godfather Of Soul." Members of his band have said that he was very demanding but could bring out their great performances.
In the '60s and '70s, he regularly topped the R&B chart, and although he never had a #1 pop hit, he charted 96 songs on the Hot 100, second only to Elvis.
His stage moves were legendary, with spins, shuffles and incredibly quick footwork. These moves were emulated by many performers, including Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson.
