Perhaps you have seen him depicted in the recent feature film; possibly watched the HBO documentary. You might even have been amazed by accounts of legal shenanigans surrounding his estate. Its like James Brown never left, still stirring up controversy and whipping heads around in the twenty-first century. The Roots of Revolution is your ticket to understanding how his story began. This all-new set from Southern Routes presents a complete collection of the Godfather of Soul's formative recording for Federal Records with The Famous Flames in late 1950 s. This import 2LP package features all of JB's early, explosive hits including Please, Please, Please, Try Me and Think; thirty two dynamic Rhythm and Blues gems. Essential!!
