It is hard to classify late 60s/early 70s James Brown into one genre. I guess soul/funk is the easiest way to do it.

James was 'funky'

Hey was also the Godfather of Soul.

Regardless of any argument, he was one of, if not the, greatest entertainers of all time.

No argument, but the funky moniker was applied to him.

Funk and the term funk, grew out of this.
