The Criminal History Of James Brown, The Godfather Of Soul
Story by Brian Myers •
Known widely as the "Godfather of Soul," James Brown was a dominating force in the music industry for decades. In the years that have passed since the release of his 1958 single "Please Please Please," Brown assembled a catalog of music that would be spread out over 60 studio albums (per Classic Rock History). His singles charted a whopping 110 times on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, with 17 of his tracks earning the top spot (via Yahoo Entertainment News). Grammy Awards and his entry into the inaugural class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame added top honors to a storied career.

Brown is known as the most sampled artist of all time, with over 5,200 tracks by other artists featuring snippets of his studio handiwork (per GQ).
