“Soul Brother #1,”The Godfather of Soul,” “Mr. Dynamite,”
“Sex Machine,” “The Minister of the New New Super Heavy
Funk.” These are some of the names by which the world
would eventually know James Joseph Brown, Jr., the
revolutionary musical figure who was born on May 3, 1933.
The story Brown himself would often tell is that he appeared
stillborn when he first came into the world, but that an aunt
attending his birth managed to breathe life into him.
