Juke Joint

I have created, kinda like a trilogy of music playlists that are relevant to life of James Brown. 

The first playlist, The Devil’s Music is from James Brown’s childhood growing up in Augusta, Georgia. These are songs he listened to growing up and later would sing in a cover band during his teens and early 20’s. 

The second playlist, Juke Joint is a collection of hits during the mid to late 50’s as James brown was finding his way to becoming an entertainer that was changing music during that time. 

The third playlist, Welcome to the Apollo is music from the 60’s going into the 70’s. It was every black musicians dream to play the Apollo. Once they played and past the test of the harsh audience they knew they had made it big. And James Brown had made it. 

A Juke joint is the African American term for an informal establishment featuring music, dancing, gambling, and drinking, owned and operated by African Americans in the southeastern United States during the early 20th century until the 1960’s. Juke Joints were where black musicians performed during the days of segregation. Juke Joints are where Rock & Roll and Rhythm and Blues were born and evolved.
