I want to get some James Brown CDs and I am looking for suggestions on the better ones?

Try this for starters!

I was lucky enough to have seen this amazing performer 3 times live in Montreal back in the 70's.

Definitely, this compilation is a must have for JB lovers.

You'll get the full length version of Papa's got a brand new bag, but the coolest thing is "I feel good". It's so different from the version everyone knows. ULTRA funky, drummer hitting way behind the beat, very good.

Old skool JB = crooner of sorts.

thats funny I had gone to amazon and put the live at the Apollo 1963 in my cart before I read this

I will put Make It Funky in there too - I have been hearing that song on XM radio Soul Town and thats actually what made me want to get some of his stuff
