 Credit:
In 1999, radio producers Paul Ingles and Joe Warnes went in pursuit of an interview with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown at a tour stop in Albuquerque.

Offered here in a 29 minute doc and a 6:30 excerpt. A Bonus Music Sweep is added for Stations Needing 53:00 or 58:00 Hours.

To mark the recent death of James Brown, give your listeners this special treat.

Offered here in a 29 minute program and a 6:30 featurette. The featurette would require the following hard lead that would include your own copy on Brown's death.

Featurette Suggested lead detail: Independent Producer Paul Ingles (ING-guhls) saw James Brown concerts in the mid-1970's and then again in 1999 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ingles and co-producer Joe Warnes (WAR-nez) covered the concert then, talking with fans and recording a bit inside the arena, trying to capture what it was like to be in the presence of the Godfather of Soul.

Add the bonus hosted all-music sweep to create a 53:00 version. Add the single bonus track at end to make a 58:00 version.

We make no claim to innovation in the music sweep. Just offering it for stations that can't find their own JB hits disc to do this themselves and create an hour from the half-hour doc.

30 Second Promo, which needs a tag, is included.

Review of In Search of James Brown: An Appreciation (58:00 / 53:00 / 29:00 or 6:30 Feature)

Engaging and upbeat is an understatement. It's James Brown! Lovely lovely piece. It will be perfect to air on New Year's Day. That is- the 6:30 piece. So smart of you all to make pieces of so many different lengths. This story is basically just fans talking about the man (The Mr. James Brown, of course); then hearing what it's like in the concert; then fans reactions after. But with great writing and description about the concert and James Brown. And for people like me, who have been listening to James Brown for so long but never went to see him play, this piece gives you a taste of that experience.

Review of In Search of James Brown: An Appreciation (29:00 and 6:30 Feature)

Paul Ingles is one of public radio's most promising producers, he combines traditional radio reportage with NPR-style reportage in this great tribute to the Godfather of Soul that any radio station looking to pay tribute to James Brown soon not miss. As an added bonus, in addition to taking you behind-the-scenes, you get to hear excerpts from the show itself. A fitting tribute to one of the greatest performers of our time.
