	VH1.com : James Brown : Biography
		Brown's style of R&B got harder as the '60s began, as he added more complex, Latin- and jazz-influenced rhythms on hits like "Good Good Lovin'," "I'll Go Crazy," "Think," and "Night Train," alternating these with torturous ballads that featured some of the most frayed screaming to be heard outside of the church.
		For some time, Brown had been moving toward more elemental lyrics which threw in as many chants and screams as words, and more intricate beats and horn charts that took some of their cues from the ensemble work of jazz outfits.
		Brown was both a brilliant bandleader and a stern taskmaster, leading his band to walk out on him in late 1969.

		James Brown, one of the most influential singers, songwriters and producers in music history, is finally starting to get his due respect, thanks to a generation of rappers who have propelled him back into the spotlight by sampling his volcanic polyrhythmic grooves.
		Brown was very much still figuring out his approach at this point, and the tunes are all standard late 50's rock fare, with undistinguished arrangements (the first appearance of the J.C. Davis-led James Brown Band), routine structures and changes, generic lyrics and short running times.
		Brown didn't have much to do with this album; everything was written and produced by Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight, and James overdubbed his vocals when everything was finished.

		Brown's new era had truly begun, however, with "Out of Sight," which topped the R&B charts and made the pop Top 30.
