In a career spanning over 50 years, James Brown became known as a progenitor of funk music who influenced the development of many other genres along the way. All his hit songs, hidden gems, and collaborations are now bundled together on Music On Vinyl's Collected series release. It contains 29 songs, including music from his early days with the Famous Flames, the J.B.'s, and a wide collection of tracks from his solo career.

Brown began his career as a gospel singer and joined the rhythm and blues vocal group, the Famous Flames, as lead singer in the 1950s. Later on he formed his own band and released such successful singles as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag", "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World". James then brought funk to a new level with the J.B.'s, scoring hits like "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine" and "The Payback". Brown has been inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame earning such signature nicknames as "Godfather of Soul", "Mr. Dynamite", and "Soul Brother No. 1".
