DJ DUSK
always in the mix in loving spirit
THIS MONTH's FLYER James Brown 1933-2006 R.I.P. - Born in South Carolina & raised in Augusta,Ga,he grew up struggling. He danced as a child on the street to survive. At age 16 in a reform school, he met singer Bobby Byrd and soon after formed their first group the Famous Flames which was the springboard for Brown's career. Following in the early 60's, James Brown's mix of raw gospel influenced rhythm & blues and never before seen showmanship reset the standard. The raw, pure soul & rhythmic assault he launched on the world with the release of "Papas Got A Brand New Bag" made ripples felt round the world. The effect he had on modern music from rock (check much Zeppelin,Prince?) to the funk soul movement of the late 60s and into the hip-hop era is IMMEASURABLE! Too many samples to even mention. He helped launch the careers of many artists like Bobby Byrd, Fred Wesley, Pee wee Ellis, Lynn Collins, Dee Felice, Lee Austin, Bill Doggett, Vicki Anderson, Martha High, Marva Whitney, Hank Ballard, Sweet Charles, Maceo Parker, Clyde "Funky Drummer" Stubblefield, Jabo Starks, Phelps and William "Bootsy" Collins! James was also a successful entrepeneur starting his own label "People" records.. However as an inspiring social leader he helped raise black consciousness and was a catalyst for hope in the darkest hours of the civil rights fight for freedom,justice and equality.he pulled no punches in the songs he wrote addressing the reality of the black man struggling to prosper in a white man's world or of the stuggle not to succumb to the pitfalls within his own community. P.E. would not be if not for J.B. James popularised early 60s dances (Camel Walk, The James Brown) in tandem with his music that other artists would build off of and on and on, to the breaka,breaka... B-boying? He started the good foot dance which was the foundation of the uprock. There would be no funk, hip hop or dance music as we know it were it not for the funky Man from Augusta, GA. Love,Respect & Thanks Godfather, Rootdown!
