Yet the unbridled, almost manic energy that fueled Brown’s innovative songwriting, electrifying dance numbers, and relentless tour schedule also got him into trouble. A string of broken marriages, estranged children, and brushes with the law over back taxes, drugs, and even weapons and violence were all part of his story. This book uncovers both the musical and personal legacy of James Brown, from his humble beginnings in the poverty-stricken South during the Great Depression to his rapid rise to fame and fortune.

Early Life in Poverty
