Verzameling van onder de vleugels van James Brown opererende zangeressen, die in de jaren '60 en '70 singles uitbrachten waar Brown bij betrokken was als schrijver, duet-zanger, muzikant, producer en/of arrangeur. Met o.a. Tammi Terrell, toen ze zich nog gewoon Tammy Montgomery (haar echte naam) noemde, Vicki Anderson en Lyn Collins. Naast soul en funk is er ook pure gospel te horen. "Over the decades, James Brown collaborated with, and encouraged, some of funk's leading ladies. During the '60s and early '70s in particular, every Brown show featured a 15- or 20-minute break when he would leave the stage, turning it over to a young female singer who'd perform her own mini set -- an event that became a tradition and an important part of the revue. It is these women who are collected across this marvelous and historically potent two-disc set. This is a crucial collection of the original women who rock -- the soul and funk divas who paved the way." (Amy Hanson, Allmusic; 4,5 uit 5 sterren)
