James Brown
James Brown was the electrifying singer, dancer, bandleader, and songwriter known as the Godfather of Soul. His precision rhythm, explosive stage shows, and songs such as “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag,” “I Got You (I Feel Good),” and “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine” helped invent funk and influence hip-hop. Brown’s groove, work ethic, and commanding presence made him one of the most important performers in popular music. Get on up with a cool James Brown shirt from our officially licensed collection.
