史上最伟大的R&B歌唱家之一,1991年的这套精选很值得收藏！整理了他所有最顶峰的作品，本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第79位。 　　Disc One covers Browns early R&B years, when his pleading intensity helped lay the groundwork for soul music. 　　Disc Two, however, is where his genius truly crystallizes — it basically chronicles the birth of funk, as Brown gradually discards song structure in favor of working hard grooves; it also offers a picture of Browns emergence as a bandleader and spokesman for black pride. 　　Disc Three features Browns hardest funk, including his much-revered material with the Bootsy Collins band. 　　Disc Four traces Browns later creative decline, yet he duplicated his former glories often enough to make this disc a surprisingly solid listen; plus, his massive impact on hip-hop is underlined on the last track, the Afrika Bambaataa duet "Unity."
