The Godfather of Soul, the inventor of funk, and the grandfather of hip-hop, James Brown had many titles in life yet none truly do justice to his monumental impact on music. Brown performed five or six nights a week throughout the 1950s and '60s, a schedule that earned him the title "The Hardest-Working Man in Show Business." Brown would routinely lose two or three pounds each time he performed and kept his furious concert schedule in his later years even as he fought prostate cancer.
