This double disc serves as an excellent recap of Brown's long classic period, beginning with 1956's "Please, Please, Please" and ending with the great disco-era single "It's Too Funky in Here." A great party album and undeniable space saver but inevitably no match for the four-CD Star Time box. <I>--Rickey Wright</I>

Tribute to the Godfather..........2006-12-30
I bought this CD in 2003 and have enjoyed it so much, even moreso now that James Brown is gone. He made amazing music that you could dance to, exercise to. It's impossible to hear his jumping beats and stay seated. He makes you feel good; makes you want to get funky; makes you want to get up offa that thang! I'm pretty sad knowing he's gone from this life, but I'm glad I have this CD collection and the video I also bought at the same time, to keep him indelibly in my mind and keep me on the good foot! I remember walking to school in 6th grade singing, "Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud!" I thank James Brown for caring and being himself. May his soul rest in peace.
the minister of new new super heavy funk, 1933-2006........2006-12-27
not many words need to be said of how the whole world is feeling right now about the man we know as james brown, who has went on to be with the Good Lord Our father, who art in soulful heaven. the man always will be the hardest working man in show business, who's music and passion have kept him in full public view for over 50 years. and we won't even talk about hits!! the man had too many to count!! which still wouldn't be enough , if you asked me...lol...even up to his last performance here in joliet, illinois at the rialto square theater this past september, he still gave it all he got. mr. brown, your efforts, accomplishments, and achievements will not go unoticed by my, and a whole lot of others, too. the funk and soul of your power will shine on in the hearts of all music lovers and appreciaters all over the world!!! goodbye, mr. star time.
HUH!! Get on up!!.......2005-04-14
This 2-CD set kicks some major booty. Nice overview of JB's career. If you wanted to delve deeper into his hardcore funk years, you might wanna look for individual copies of his later albums, but for most of his hot early hits with a slice of the funky stuff, this is pretty nice.
better than 'star time'!.......2004-12-08
That's blasphemous to some of you readers, I'm sure, but hey, at one time I owned both sets. I kept 40th because it has "Down and Out in NY City"; 'Star Time' does not. Anyway, I found myself going for the 40th set whenever I needed some JB. I guess I just don't have the time or patience to wade through box sets anymore.
As for the music, well what can I say? The man INVENTED funk and rap. Think about that -- James Brown invented two musical genres. It boggles the mind. EVERY R&B performer who came after him owes their career to "the Hardest Working Man in Show Business", "Soul Brother #1", "Mr. Dynamite", "the Godfather of Soul", ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. James Brown!
This set has the songs in chronological order so you get to follow his progress from journeyman soul balladeer to one of the most important figures in 20th century music.
"Sex Machine" is one of the greatest songs ever conceived by the mind of man....
The one complaint I have is you can't see James performing this stuff...
So, if you have the $ and the time, get 'Star Time'. But if you're like me 'JB40' is where it's at. Hunh! good gawd!
