Kill 'Em and Leave: Searching for James Brown and the American Soul by James McBride
5.0
After MLK, James Brown is arguably the most famous Georgian ever. Certainly, the state's greatest entertainer. At one point in the 60s, he was the most famous man in America.
This book is not so much about Brown, but more about his legacy: his friends, where he came from, and the long sad trail of lawsuits left behind. McBride is a gifted writer, inserting himself in the story. McBride tracks down friends of Brown's, visiting forgotten backroads, in search of the true Brown.
Highly recommended.
