Buzz D'Angelo - The James Brown Experience - James Brown TributeWelcome to the website of the UK’s 1st tribute to The Godfather of Soul. The legend that was James Brown was born in Barnwell, South Carolina in 1933, he first tried his hand at singing aged 13. Brown and his band - the soon to be ‘Famous Flames’ - cut a demo of ‘Please Please Please’ which was picked up by Ralph Bass, the following year it became a national R&B hit. When Syd Nathan recognised Browns potential he put out the record on the 3rd March 1956, it became a million seller...the rest as they say is history. A monumental inspiration to many of today’s Hip-Hop, R&B and Soul Greats, James Brown is the most sampled artists of all time and the biggest selling R&B act of all time, outselling Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin.
