His life offstage was just as vibrant, and until now no biographer has delivered a complete profile. The One draws on interviews with more than 100 people who knew Brown personally or played with him professionally. Using these sources, award-winning writer RJ Smith draws a portrait of a man whose twisted and amazing life helps us to understand the music he made. The One delves deeply into the story of a man who was raised in abject-almost medieval-poverty in the segregated South but grew up to earn (and lose) several fortunes. Covering everything from Brown's unconventional childhood (his aunt ran a bordello), to his role in the Black Power movement, which used "Say It Loud (I'm Black and Proud)" as its anthem, to his high-profile friendships, to his complicated family life, Smith's meticulous research and sparkling prose blend biography with a cultural history of a pivotal era. *546 #$aEngelsk tekst *599 $a250 kr *60014$aBrown, James$d1933-2006$_12082200 *650 4$aArtister$_11951600 *650 4$aBiografier$_10033200 *650 4$aFunk$_14926400 *650 4$aR&B$_12159400 *650 4$aSoul$_12084100 ^
