Page "James Brown" Paragraph 1

In a career that spanned six decades, Brown profoundly influenced the development of many different musical genres.

Brown moved on a continuum of blues and gospel-based forms and styles to a profoundly " Africanized " approach to music making.

Brown performed in concerts, first making his rounds across the Chitlin ' Circuit, and then across the country and later around the world, along with appearing in shows on television and in movies.

Although he contributed much to the music world through his hitmaking, Brown holds the record as the artist who charted the most singles on the Billboard Hot 100 without ever hitting number one on that chart.
