20 All Time Greatest Hits!

by James Brown

Acting as a concise, single-disc alternative to the sprawling 'Star Time' box set, this compilation distills James Brown's staggering legacy into his most culturally ubiquitous anthems. Tracing his evolution from the pleading R&B of 'Please, Please, Please' to the fiercely syncopated, polyrhythmic funk of 'Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine', the sequence is flawless. It remains arguably the most essential, hard-hitting introductory document to the Godfather of Soul.
