520    "A product of the complicated history of the American 
       South, James Brown was a cultural shape-shifter who 
       arguably had the greatest influence of any artist on 
       American popular music. Brown was long a figure of 
       fascination for James McBride, a noted professional 
       musician as well as a writer. When he received a tip that 
       promised to uncover the man behind the myth, McBride set 
       off to follow a trail to better understand the personal, 
       musical, and societal influences that created this 
       immensely troubled, misunderstood, and complicated soul 
       genius."--flyleaf. 
520    McBride shows that Brown's rough-and-tumble life is an 
       unsettling metaphor for American life: the tension between
       North and South, black and white, rich and poor. From the 
       forgotten corners of the country town where Brown's family
       was among those displaced by America's largest nuclear 
       power bomb-making facility to the Augusta, Georgia, 
       funeral home where Michael Jackson sat up all night with 
       the body of his musical godfather, you'll come to 
       understand Brown through McBride's own insights as a black
       musician with Southern roots.
