BIOGRAPHY
Regarded as one of the founders of funk, soul, and hip-hop, James Brown earned many nicknames. He’s “The Godfather of Soul,” “The Original Disco Man,” and “Mr. Dynamite.” You may also know him as “Soul Brother Number One” and “The Hardest-Working Man in Show Business.”
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Born May 3, 1933 in Barnwell, South Carolina, Brown grew up in the segregated South during the Great Depression. He was raised in Augusta, Georgia by his Aunt Honey, who took him in at age 5 after his parents divorced. He had an early introduction to gospel music in churches, and his neighbors taught him how to play drums, guitar, and piano. As a child, he sang for his classmates and competed in local talent shows. Despite his early musical experience, Brown initially wanted to pursue a career in baseball or boxing rather than music.
