The Urban Buzz Top Ten

The Urban Buzz Top Ten James Brown Songs of All-Time

If you follow my Top Ten lists in The Urban Buzz then you know the James Joseph Brown is my all-time favorite artist. Mr. Brown’s birthday was May 3rd, he would have been 81 years young; he passed away on December 25^th, 2006. “The Godfather of Soul” is the top R&B artist for both the 60’s and 70’s but his work in the 70’s stands out for me.

To honor “Soul Brother #1” we thought  it would be “out-of-sight” if we did a Top Ten Songs of All-Time from James Brown.
