Editorial Review:
This budget-priced James Brown collection presents many of Mr. Dynamite's highly combustible funk/soul hits. Drawing solely from Brown's 1970s recordings, the set includes energetic, groove-laden tunes such as "Super Bad," "Give It Up or Turn It Loose," and "The Payback," which features the classic line "I don't know karate/but I know crazy." Although there are many other excellent Godfather of Soul compilations on the market, this disc boasts an inarguably fine selection.
