UK collection. In the late '60s, King Records were buoyed and inspired by their #1 artist James Brown. The recordings that went down at their Cincinnati headquarters were a vibrant expression of Funk and Soul captured on this 23-track compilation. Many of the tracks we've selected had direct James Brown involvement. Productions by him or his team include the super-rare single by the Brownettes, Clay Tyson's proto rap 'Man on the Moon', the brilliant Wendy Lynn's 'I Can Remember'. in addition we've included classics by Kay Robinson, Hank Ballard, King Coleman and Leon Austin that have become increasingly difficult to find.
