Two Sides of James Brown
Ann Moses, NME, 4 March 1966
JAMES BROWN. Such a plain name – they call him Mr. Dynamite. They are one person. But there are two faces to the entertainer. Thousands see and love the powerful, driving Mr. Dynamite, but few see the soft-spoken, sharp-minded gentleman, Mr. Brown.
