This is a discography chronicling the musical career of James Brown. Brown joined Bobby Byrd's vocal group The Flames in 1953, first as a drummer, and then as leading front man.

Brown was discovered by Famous Flames founder Bobby Byrd, who recruited him for his vocal group.

After James Brown died on Christmas Day in 2006, many obituary writers felt there was something that needed to be mentioned as a priority before they listed his many achievements, that the former Hardest Working Man In Show Business really was a nasty piece of work. I have no desire to buck this trend here. In his biography, The Life of James Brown, Geoff Brown notes that he was an ill-tempered, inveterate, emotional and physical scrapper before adding: A list of people physically assaulted by him would not be a short one, nor would it be restricted to the male of the species. Few musicians who worked with him stayed the course for long and sometimes parted ways with him acrimoniously. The only notable cash spike during this downward slide happened because of The Payback album.

Every James Brown slab comes coated in a dried layer of flop sweat. To listen to Brown is to hear a man who danced his ass off in Chitlin Circuit juke joints and theaters where air-conditioning was a far-away dream. It’s taking in the vocal-chord shredding screams and raw physicality that helped birth the body-movingest genre this country’s ever known. It’s trying to reckon with a man so crazed by the idea of putting on a good show that he’d dance himself into a stupor, collapse in a puddle and then put on a cape. Perhaps the best way to realize what an odd track Sweat is is to listen to the rest of the album that it hails from. Cold Sweat is full of covers of tracks that accurately represent the world that Brown was dropping a funkified bomb on. Covers of nightclub standards like Fever and Stagger Lee sound downright prehistoric compared to what Brown lays down in the album opener.
