  • The Famous Flames, před příchodem Jamese Browna známá jako The Avons, byla americká R&B, soulová a funková hudební skupina, která vznikla v roce 1953 v Toccoa v Georgii. Původně vytupovala pod dvěma názvy, The Avons používala při hraní R&B a Gospel Starlighters při hraní žánru gospel. Po příchodu Jamese Browna na pozici zpěváka v roce 1954 si nejprve kapela změnila název na The Flames, ze kterého se později vyvinul dnešní název. Za dobu své kariéry vydala kapela 22 studiových alb, ze kterých vzešlo 68 singlů nebo EP alb, a 3 kompilační alba. Nejúspěšnějším a nejprodávanějším albem kapely je album z roku 1963. Mezi nejznámější hity kapely patří „Please, Please, Please“, „Try Me“, „Think“, „I Don't Mind“, „Shout and Shimmy“, „Bewildered“, „Oh Baby, Don't You Weep“ a „I'll Go Crazy“. Zatímco v padesátých letech hrála kapela hlavně R&B a gospel, v šedesátých letech svůj styl změnila a pomohla vytvořit základy budoucího žánru funk. Kvůli neshodám všech členů se kapela v roce 1968 rozpadla, Bobby Byrd však nadále spolupracoval s Brownem v jeho sólové kariéře, při které se proslavil hlavně jako soulový zpěvák a získal přezdívku Godfather of Soul (Kmotr soulu). V roce 2012 byla kapela přidána do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. (cs)
  • The Famous Flames were an American Rhythm and blues, Soul vocal group founded in Toccoa, Georgia, in 1953 by Bobby Byrd. James Brown first began his career as a member of the Famous Flames, emerging as the lead singer by the time of their first appearance professional recording, "Please, Please, Please", in 1956. On hit songs such as "Try Me", "Bewildered", "Think", "I Don't Mind", and "I'll Go Crazy", the Flames' smooth backing harmonies contrasted strikingly with Brown's raw, impassioned singing, and their synchronized dance steps were a prominent feature of their live shows. Altogether, James Brown and the Famous Flames numerous R&B hit songs reached the Top 40 on the R&B and pop charts.They also appeared in the Hollywood films T.A.M.I. Show (1964) and Ski Party. Members of the Flames also contributed as songwriters and choreographers. In 2012 the Flames were retroactively inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside Brown. On their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame page, they are described as "a group of singers, performers and dancers that created the complementary elements of one of the greatest stage shows of all time."As of 2020, The Famous Flames were also inducted into The National Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame. The Famous Flames are sometimes erroneously identified as James Brown's "band", a confusion partly fostered by their record companies' inconsistent labeling credit practices. Although members of the group did play instruments in some of their earliest shows and recordings, by 1959 Brown had hired a touring band and from that point on, the Flames contributed primarily as backing vocalists and dancers. The band was billed separately as the James Brown Band, and later as the James Brown Orchestra. (en)

James Brown startte er zijn carrière in 1956 en werd frontman toen hun eerste plaat - "" – werd opgenomen. De groep trok veel aandacht omwille van hun harmonieuze zang, de stem van James Brown en gesynchroniseerde danspassen, iets wat nieuw was. Veel van hun liedjes kwamen in de Amerikaanse top 40 en de Billboard Hot 100. Ook kwamen ze in de The T.A.M.I. Show(1964) en . De groep schreef hun eigen liedteksten en maakten hun choreografie. De groep werd in 2012 opgenomen in de Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Van de groep wordt gezegd dat zij tot de beste behoren wat zaalshows betreft. De groep wordt soms ten onrechte beschouwd de vaste band van James Brown te zijn. Dit komt wellicht omwille van inconsistentie op de diverse platen. The Famous Flames waren in de beginperiode effectief de muzikanten, maar sinds 1959 werd een tourband ingehuurd en deden The Famous Flames enkel nog achtergrondzang en danspassen. (nl)

  • The Famous Flames foi um grupo vocal americano de rhythm and blues fundado em Toccoa, Geórgia, em 1953 por Bobby Byrd. James Brown começou sua carreira como membro dos Famous Flames, emergindo como cantor principal na época da primeira gravação profissional do grupo, "Please, Please, Please", em 1956. Em canções de sucesso como "Try Me", "Bewildered", "Think", "I Don't Mind" e "I'll Go Crazy", as suaves harmonias vocais dos Flames contrastam surpreendentemente com a entrega bruta, apaixonada de Brown, e seus passos de dança sincronizados foram uma característica proeminente de seus shows ao vivo. Juntos, eles tiveram 12 canções que atingiram as paradas da revista Billboard R&B e Pop, além de se apresentar em inúmeros álbuns, incluindo clássicos como o álbum ao vivo Live at the Apollo. Eles apareceram em filmes como T.A.M.I. Show e Ski Party bem como em vários programas de TV. Membros dos Flames também contribuíram como compositores e coreógrafos. Em 2012 os Flames foram retroativamente indicados ao Rock & Roll Hall of Fame juntamente com Brown. Em sua página no site do Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, eles são descritos como "um grupo de cantores, artistas e dançarinos que criaram os elementos de um dos maiores shows ao vivo de todos os tempos." Os Famous Flames são algumas vezes erroneamente identificados como a "banda" de James Brown, uma confusão parcialmente fomentada por suas gravadoras em seus inconsistentes créditos nos selos dos discos. Embora os membros do grupo tocassem instrumentos musicais em algumas de suas primeiras apresentações ao vivo e gravações, por volta de 1959 Brown contratou uma banda para turnês e deste ponto os Flames contribuíram principalmente como vocalistas de apoio e dançarinos. A banda era anunciada separadamente como "the James Brown Band", e posteriormente como "the James Brown Orchestra". (pt)
