James Brown bol americký spevák, skladateľ a tanečník, považovaný za zakladateľa funkovej hudby a jednu z najvýznamnejších postáv populárnej hudby 20. storočia. Známy pod prezývkami Godfather of Soul a Mr. Dynamite, mal zásadný vplyv na vývoj soulu, funku i hip-hopu.
Kompilačný album Collected na dvoch gramofonových platniach vydaných na zlatom vinyle prináša prierez jeho kariérou. Zaznievajú tu klasické skladby Papa's Got A Brand New Bag, I Got You (I Feel Good), It's A Man's Man's Man's World, Cold Sweat či Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine, ktoré položili základy funkovej hudby. Vedľa raných hitov s vokálnou skupinou The Famous Flames nájdeme aj neskoršie nahrávky s kapelou The J.B's.
