Album artwork for Soul On Top by James Brown

In the liner notes to this grooving 1969 album (featuring a big band led by drummer Louis Bellson and arranged by Impulse! star Oliver Nelson), the Godfather of Soul explains that he is a “jazz man at heart.” Brown’s soul consigliere, saxophonist Maceo Parker, helps make this a swinging, spirited and satisfying set of standards and James Brown hits.
