    Character Evaluation

    In his 50-year acting career, James Brown has twice become a key figure in promoting the revolution in American music-in the 1960s, he turned R&B into Soul; in the early 1970s, he turned Soul into Funk. His performance is also unique. His singing always uses his best, combined with gasping, calling, whimpering and so on. Many times, when the performance is over, he sweats on his face and bends his knees as if he is about to faint on the stage, but after a while he stands up again and continues to sing desperately. At the same time, his dance is also very famous. It has influenced the performances of many people from "Rolling Stones" lead singer Mick Jagger to MJ   . For half a century, the innovative genius of the "Godfather of Soul Music" has enriched our culture and influenced generations of musicians. As an original American genius, his fans come from all walks of life and come from different social backgrounds   . Brown is a talented artist in his bones, and his dance is especially worth mentioning. Brown is to rhythm and dance music, what Dylan is to lyric lyrics, is the undisputed great innovator in this field   . Brown is a legendary R&B singer and lyricist. He is the creator of "Funk" music. He is also unique in rap, hip-hop, disco and other fields. Brown has many aliases, but his talent has been praised by everyone   .
