James Brown was a great showman,but he borrowed heavily from many others


Is this a serious statement? There isn't an artist who was both as influential is he was in his time while also being equally relevant to post modern music.

JB is the Godfather of hip hop, funk and soul. While a Mt Rushmore is nearly impossible to do, he is definitely on it if youre going to boil everything down to 4 individuals/groups.

Pretty hilarious to me that anyone would try and downplay him as just a showman while putting Elvis on the list. That's the very definition of Elvis and not even close for JB.

Did you see Elvis on my list? No you didn't. You won't find anyone on my list,that at least isn't a writer,Singer,and musician. Those are the only things that will qualify for me. I don't care about any of the other aspects.

You don't think James Brown borrowed from people like Howling Wolf, Bo Diddley, and Others?

Ok
