JAMES BROWN – IT’S A MOTHER

Released in August 1969, It’s a Mother goes far beyond soul: it anticipates the deeper funk to come. It features the monster two-part single “Mother Popcorn,” a #1 R&B and #11 Pop hit and one of the last of the classic Pee Wee Ellis arrangements for JB. The album peaked at #3 on Billboard’s R&B/Soul LP chart and #26 on the Top 200 — one of his biggest pop chart accomplishments. Decades later, its sequence of hip tracks, ballads, and jams makes it a benchmark for producers, neo-funk bands, and crate-digging DJs.
