This book is a definitive biography of James Brown, an extraordinary and controversial superstar, that encompasses his entire life until his death on Christmas Day 2006. For decades, James Brown dominated the changing face of post-war popular black music.

It is illustrated with rare photographs and includes a comprehensive discography.
