James Brown was arguably the most important Black artist of his generation, a musician whose work helped define his time and place while creating a sound that was his and his alone. Brown’s sharp, percussive style upended R&B, gave birth to funk, and would provide the blueprint for hip-hop, while echoes of his innovative music could be heard in free jazz, new wave, electronic, and many other musical avenues.
If anyone in popular music deserves a big-screen biopic, it’s James Brown, and the soundtrack to Get On Up, a feature film based on Brown’s life starring Chadwick Boseman as the Godfather of Soul, is a reminder that Brown was a pathbreaker in the studio and a supreme showman on the stage. Opening with the taut groove of 1970′s.
The soundtrack album for the film features twenty tracks by Brown, both from the studio and live. Brown’s hits fed an incredible legacy of live performances, and the soundtrack further highlights Brown’s legendary stage prowess with two previously unreleased concert recordings heard in the film: spine-tingling performances of “Please Please Please” and “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” recorded on April 23, 1966 at Tampa, Florida’s historic Fort Homer W. Hesterly Armory.
The soundtrack also includes five recordings with new music production and arrangements by The Underdogs.
If a new generation of music fans is going to be introduced to the Hardest Working Man In Show Business by the movie Get On Up, at least the soundtrack album delivers a satisfying taste of what made him a legend.
