Review by Stewart Townsend

Soul On Top is a remarkable album by James Brown that showcases the legendary singer's versatility and range. Released in 1970, the album features Brown's signature soulful vocals backed by a full jazz orchestra, creating a unique sound that blends the best of both worlds.

The album kicks off with the upbeat and funky "That's My Desire," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Brown's powerful voice is on full display in tracks like "Your Cheatin' Heart" and "For Once In My Life," while his soulful interpretation of "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" is a standout moment.

The album also features some impressive instrumental performances from the jazz orchestra, particularly on tracks like "It's Magic" and "Willow Weep For Me." The arrangements are tight and polished, with each instrument adding depth and texture to the overall sound.

I am torn for several factors, I start with the pros: the voice of james brown is excellent, really dynamic and groovy, and he also manages to dominate a big band as a true leader which he is. the arrangements are in some cases surprising (in particular the rendering of "your cheatin heart" is to be applauded) and have some nice counterparts. the lineup is varied and well chosen.cons: tempos too dilated, almost in every song there is a vamp in which james brown applies his vocal virtuosity and his "neighs" on the groove, and there are songs like "it's a man's world" that become exhausting. in addition, the general mood is too noisy, sometimes chaotic, and in the long run it weighs on the listener. definitely noteworthy experiment but I prefer james brown with a combo of less elements and more soul / funk.
