A foundational compilation of James Brown's early songs, this is a key part of funk.
The title track, "Please, Please, Please," features Brown's heartfelt vocals, signaling the transition from R&B to soul in the 1950s. His vocal style, heavily influenced by gospel, and his simple yet powerful groove laid the foundation for later funk music. This is a valuable work in music history, documenting the launch of the career of the man known as the King of Soul.
