Best of Live at the Apollo - 50th Anniversary

In honor of the 80th birthday of multi-Grammy® Award winning artist James Brown on Friday, May 3 (and the artist’s newly launched official channels: youtube.com/jamesbrownofficial and shoutfactory.com/jamesbrown), we’d like to invite you to celebrate the legend!  To get the party started Shout! Factory, in collaboration with the James Brown Estate will be the ones providing the birthday gifts. 

 

Known as “the hardest working man in show business” during a career which spanned more than six decades, this iconic performer has had a profound impact on many of today’s biggest artists, with Michel Jackson citing him as "my greatest inspiration."  With some 800 songs in his repertoire, James Brown has influenced contemporary artists from virtually every popular music genre — rock, soul, jazz, R&B, and virtually reshaping dance music and hip-hop (with Brown being the most sampled artist during the music’s early years).
