A thorough survey of James Brown's journey to stardom, which earned him the ultimate accolade of Godfather of Soul.
James Brown enjoyed a big R&B hit with his debut single Please, Please, Please in 1956, but it was not until 1960 that he made a sustained impact on the charts, becoming a regular fixture there through the 60s and 70s. I'll Go Crazy chronicles the first five years-worth of recordings released by James Brown, with and without his backing group the Famous Flames. This is the first compilation to gather up all the singles sides and album tracks from this formative period, presenting them in order of recording date. As a bonus, it includes the hit single (Do The) Mashed Potatoes, credited to Nat Kendrick & The Swans, but featuring James Brown. Other early hits featured here are Try Me, I Want You So Bad, I'll Go Crazy, Think, You've Got The Power and This Old Heart.
In his booklet notes Grammy Award-winning James Brown authority Cliff White chronicles the genesis and evolving line-up of The Famous Flames, and explores the circumstances surrounding the early recording sessions. The booklet also lists the recording date, location and original catalogue number for each track. 'I'll Go Crazy' provides a thorough survey of James Brown's journey to stardom, which earned him the ultimate accolade of Godfather of Soul.
