{"product_id":"9781845134068","title":"James Brown: The Godfather of Soul","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe autobiography Godfather of Soul was originally published before James Brown's late-'80s brushes with the law, so those looking for the man's thoughts on his drug problems and subsequent incarceration will walk away empty-handed. Seekers after the fine blend of social responsibility, cranked-up ego, and pronouncements on his own music and its place in the world, however, will be amply rewarded. Fascinating tidbits--from the claim that Elvis Presley once hoped to record with the JBs to the story of being able to find only white and Asian kids in a last-minute recruiting effort for the shout-along on \"Say It Loud--I'm Black and I'm Proud\"--abound. But you probably guessed as much of the auteur of \"Papa's Got a Brand New Bag,\" Live at the Apollo, and \"Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto.\" --Rickey Wright\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JAMES BROWN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53238962487456,"sku":"9781845134068","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/9781845134068.webp?v=1770502384","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9781845134068","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
