The hardest working man in show business may be gone, but the sixth entry into James Brown’s ongoing series of single compilations continues to ensure that he won’t be forgotten. And judging by just a few of the songs here -- gems like "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine, Pt. 1" and "Super Bad - Pt. 1" -- being forgotten isn't something Brown would have to worry about, anyway.

The two songs that Mr. Woods namechecks in his abstract do not appear on this release. Thankfully, a good number of JB's greatest tracks *do* appear here ("I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothin'," "Mother Popcorn," "Ain't It Funky Now," "Funky Drummer") along with some wonderful obscurities (I tend toward "Any Day Now," myself). For those who have collected the other releases in this series, it is interesting to note that volume six contains the first JB singles to be released in stereo (notwithstanding two oddities on the first volume), beginning with the canceled "Any Day Now." Brilliant stuff, to be sure.
