Great 2002 profile of the late James Brown, written by my hypothetical husband Philip Gourevitch.
I love the anecdote about Mick Jagger. In 1964 - James Brown opened for the Rolling Stones on some television show - and so hijacked the entire night that Jagger said later that it was the worst mistake of his life to follow James Brown. Ha!
Wonderful stuff there.
