Long before he was the Godfather of Soul, James Brown was an artist that King Records struggled to fully understand or appreciate. His breakthrough hit Please Please Please was nearly not released, owing to the record company executive believing it to be rubbish and being perhaps as surprised as the public when it went on to become a major smash. King then tried to position him as a blues singer, only to see his body of work become revered on the R&B market. In time James would cross over to the pop field and register a series of hits that confirmed him as one of the biggest stars in popular music, irrespective of genre. This particular album was originally released in 1961 and whilst it failed to chart does contain no fewer than four hit singles.
1961's THE AMAZING JAMES BROWN, credited to JAMES BROWN and his FAMOUS FLAMES, was his fourth album release for King Records (K-743). As usual, the album contained a host of recent singles, and a few that would be released later on. For example, "So Long," "Dancin' Little Thing" and "Tell Me What You're Gonna Do" were released on singles in 1964 while Brown and King honcho Syd Nathan were battling over his contract with Smash Records (see my OUT OF SIGHT review). "So Long" had also been released on the preceding album, THINK! King also reissued the album in 1963 with a different cover as "THE ALWAYS AMAZING JAMES BROWN" and in England it was known as "TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO" with it's own unique cover art. They did this regularly with a lot of his albums hoping to get repeat sales from those not paying attention to the track list. In 1963 half of the album's tracks were used again for the release SHOUT AND SHIMMY aka GOOD, GOOD TWISTIN' aka COOL-TOUGH-PURE EXCITEMENT "Mr. Dynamite." The TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO/SHOUT & SHIMMY import CD has all the tracks from both iterations along with copious notes and photos.
