"To begin, let me reveal that My favorite R & B/Pop artists of all time are The Temptations,Stevie Wonder,The Jacksons,Earth Wind & Fire, & New Edition. I never had the privilge of seeing the Godfather of Soul in person,but I was fortunate enough to have a television set when I was growing up so I was able to see time and time again that there was, and still is NO PERFORMER who can be considered to be as good as the Godfather.I write this review just 3 days after the Incredibly shocking and untimely passing of one of the few artists who can be considered worthy of the crown,Michael Jackson. But even Michael has said on numerous occasions before and after James Brown's passing that there is NO ONE else worthy of that crown besides the Godfather Himself,and I tend to agree with the King Of Pop.That having been said,the songs on this CD are the Foundations for just about all music,not just funk. Along with the Motown,Stax,Chicago & Philly sounds, this is what I was raised on, so when It became available I jumped on it immediately and it is still a part of my regular CD rotation. By the way,the answer to my question is NO. This is the most appropriately titled CD that I have ever seen or owned."
