Clarence James
by Clarence James
James Brown earned the name “The Godfather of Soul” thanks to his undeniable contribution to the evolution of a particular musical styling. But when people call you “The Godfather” of anything, it connotes a sense of respect and power. As such, artist Clarence James pays tribute to “The Godfather of Soul” though lyrics to the song The Payback where Brown lets it be known that he is not a man to be taken lightly. In fact, should you cross him, there is a serious price to be paid. Whether it’s revenge for some personal “backstabbin” or ruthlessly demanding excellence from his talented band members, Brown was a force to be reckoned with. By using grainy black and white collaged images of James Brown defying gravity and caught in a moment of abstracted musical rapture, the artist portrays his subject with a kind of superhuman, superstar quality. And the bleached sepia tone palette is drained of color as if to strip the story down to its essentials: James Brown is “The Godfather”.
