James Brown had a lot of chart success in the late 60’s -early 70’s in 1971 alone he had 9 Hot 100 singles with 6 of them making it into the Top 40. Brown would be a member of the first Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class in 1986. Brown was now off of the popcorn series of singles- and into songs with a social message. Like many of his singles there was a Part II on the b-side.
