James Brown a fost un cântăreț, compozitor și dansator american, considerat fondatorul muzicii funk și una dintre cele mai importante figuri ale muzicii populare din secolul XX. Cunoscut sub poreclele Godfather of Soul și Mr. Dynamite, a avut o influență decisivă asupra evoluției soul-ului, funk-ului și hip-hop-ului.
Albumul de compilație Collected pe două discuri de vinil auriu prezintă o retrospectivă a carierei sale. Sunt incluse piese clasice precum Papa's Got A Brand New Bag, I Got You (I Feel Good), It's A Man's Man's Man's World, Cold Sweat sau Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine, care au pus bazele muzicii funk. Alături de hiturile timpurii cu grupul vocal The Famous Flames, găsim și înregistrări ulterioare cu trupa The J.B's.
