Marva Whitney's warts and all autobiography is told in the same manner as the robust singing-style that she patented - it's raw, unbridled, intense and profoundly passionate. The late Kansas City funk and soul singer takes no prisoners in a compellingly candid memoir that blends pathos with humour and vividly recalls her rise to fame in James Brown's legendary revue in the late 1960s. A revealing expose of Brown's tyrannical regime, it also chronicles Marva's life either side of her time with the 'Godfather of Soul' and includes recollections from funk legends Bootsy Collins, Pee Wee Ellis and Fred Wesley.

Baptized 'Soul Sister Number One' by her producer and mentor James Brown, Kansas City funk siren Marva Whitney was on the cusp of stardom in the late 1960s. During that time she scored three US R&B hit singles, released two albums, picked up a Golden Mike Award and was voted second in Record World magazine's readers' poll for the Most Promising Female R&B Vocalist of 1969. She also made numerous appearances on US television but just as her star seemed to be in the ascendant, Whitney's career took a spectacular turn for the worse after personal problems forced her to quit the James Brown organization in early 1970. She then spent 35 years in the wilderness before successfully reviving her career in 2005. In her absorbing and sometimes shockingly frank memoir, God, The Devil & James Brown, Marva Whitney - who died in 2012 at the age of 68 - tells her story with an unflinching, tell-it-like-it-is directness. Her detailed account of life with James Brown is particularly disturbing but leavened with a laugh-out-loud humor that makes Marva Whitney's autobiography a compelling page-turner. "(An) eye-opening life-story. Whitney is an engaging raconteur ... she recalls her struggles and triumphs vividly, with humility and humour." Terry Staunton, Record Collector "Her tenure with 'The Godfather' is remarkably honest and forthright; sometimes unbelievable even. After reading this, and her candid remarks about her life - particularly the period spent with James Brown - I feel I know her like a friend... it's a cracking read!" Sharon Davis, SoulMusic.com

He was ‘the hardest working man in showbusiness’; he invented modern funk music; he was an electrifying, sweat-drenched live performer; he was the gospel-singing, jiving preacher who stole the show in The Blues Brothers: he spent several periods in jail; he wrote such funk classics as ‘Please Please Please’, Sex Machine’, ‘Living in America’ and ‘Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag’. James Brown was one of the truly legendary figures of modern pop, soul and rock music, and a seminal influence on countless musicians from Mick Jagger to Prince. Now, two years after his death, Aurum republish Brown’s own life story: his remarkably frank, passionate and revealing autobiography, out of print in the UK for 20 years. The Godfather of Soul tells of Brown’s childhood in a brothel in Augusta, Georgia, his roots in gospel singing, his rise to fame from the endless gigging on the chitlin circuit, his time in jail, and every milestone in his astonishing musical career, including his friendships with Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Tina Turner, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. It is an astonishing tale of a man who was larger than life on and off-stage every minute of his existence. James Brown died in 2006 at the age of 73. He was still touring until shortly before his death. Bruce Tucker is a freelance writer who lives in New Jersey.

This book explores how funk emerged in the mid-1960s at the very apex of the civil rights movement and shows how this music mirrored the broader changes taking place within the African-American community at a crucial political time and continues to this day to underpin remix culture. It traces the extent of the Brown legacy.
