James Brown: The Godfather of Soul
Simon & Schuster. 11/01/1986. Perhaps the most influential R&B and soul performer of the 20th century, James Brown not only contributed a wealth of classic recordings, such as "Sex Machine" and "Poppa's Got a Brand New Bag," but also fueled the music of a future generation of hip-hop artists who found sampling his rhythms and breaks artistically irresistible and commercially lucrative. Brown's autobiography, JAMES BROWN: THE GODFATHER OF SOUL, recounts his humble beginnings in a shack in South Carolina, his childhood raised by his aunts against a backdrop of crime and poverty, and his later incarceration for armed robbery. While on parole, he started a group that later gave him his first hit when it recorded an R&B-style reworking of a gospel tune, "Please, Please, Please." He recounts his savvy recording of his first LIVE AT THE APOLLO album against the wishes of his record label, and his legendary performance in Boston after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, which prevented a riot in that town. Though published well before Brown's latter-day problems with drugs and the law, JAMES BROWN is a simply told, riveting account of the artist's most fertile period, and the hard road he took to get there.

Otis!: The Otis Redding Story
St Martins Pr. 11/01/2001. Illustrated. 261 pgs. Arguably the greatest soul singer of the 1960s, Otis Redding was born into a respectable, if poor, Macon, Georgia, family. His father was a minister, and his childhood seems to have been as idyllic as was possible in the still-poisonous racist atmosphere of the '50s South. But, as Georgia journalist Scott Freeman recounts in his superb warts-and-all biography, OTIS!, Redding's love for R&B in general and Little Richard and James Brown in particular led to a rift between the would-be singer and his father; Redding spent much of his youth getting in and out of trouble as a member of one of Macon's many teenage gangs. Interviews with many of Redding's closest friends provide fascinating details of the future star's early show business experiences: his first gigs with the explosively talented Johnny "Guitar" Jenkins, from whom Jimi Hendrix copied many of his trademark moves; his audition for Stax, which nearly ended in disaster; and his later songwriting partnership with MGs guitarist Steve Cropper. OTIS! digs beneath Redding's popular straight-arrow image to find a naturally gifted, rough-hewn figure as prone to self-aggrandizement as the next star. Freeman's anecdotal, racy, and sometimes violent story is an essential addition to the annals of Southern soul. Originally published at $23.95 You save 92% off the cover price!
