The One: The Life and Music of James Brown, by R. J. Smith
I just read this last week and all things considered, there wasn't much in it that I didn't already know.
However, it was still a good read and I do recommend it.

What is more conservative than a song with the title,
“I Don’t Want Nobody To Give Me Nothing (Open Up The Door I’ll Get It Myself)”

James Brown didn’t allow computer monitors in his home or office. He believed there were people on the other side, watching him...

For fans of the Godfather of Soul. Good article on Brown and a review of a new biography on the singer, The One: The Life and Music of James Brown, by R. J. Smith Thanks for the information, I have always loved the music of James Brown. It made you "feel good"
I met JB and a few of his band members in Athens (early 90's ?) It was after a "small bombing" incident during the elections in Athens.

“black conservative: anti-drug”
Well, in theory :)
James Brown was more of a do as I say, not as I do kind of guy. I’m surprised they didn’t call him “pro-family” because he had so many of them.
