James Brown's 1970 album Soul On Top is a departure from his usual funk sound, with Brown instead tackling a set of jazz standards and big band classics. The album was recorded with Louie Bellson and his 18-piece orchestra, and features arrangements by Oliver Nelson.
Brown gives his own unique spin on each of the songs on the album, from his soulful rendition of "What Kind of Fool Am I" to his energetic take on "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag." The album is a showcase of Brown's versatility as a vocalist and performer, and it is one of his most overlooked albums.
While Soul On Top may not be as well-known as some of Brown's other albums, it is a must-listen for any fan of his music. It is a unique and exciting album that features Brown at his best.
