Sex machine James Brown is feeling good about the movies, financing a biographical documentary entitled Life On The Road With Mr & Mrs Brown, directed by Shelia Lussier and Camille Solari. Mixing archival footage with interviews, the film focuses on Brown’s career and his impact on other musicians.
Proving it’s not entirely a man’s, man’s, man’s world, the film also touches on the rock’n’roll career of his wife, Tomi Rae Brown, and will focus on the singer’s arrest for domestic violence in 2004. And all true soul fans can delight in the fact that dedicated groovers The Scorpions and Motörhead add their unique flavour to the project: papa’s got a brand new ace of spades, indeed.
