Brown had played the piano and other instruments, but onstage they?d just slow him down. He needed his hands and legs free to prowl, keep the band pumped up, work the crowd into a practiced frenzy. For 50 years, he was a full-service entertainer. James Brown, a name so common it was almost a generic pseudonym like John Doe, was one of a kind...
