James Brown was born on the third of may 1933. He joined a Birdy's group which at the time was a gospel/R&B group. He had joined the band shortly after one of the members "Troy Collins" was killed. The group was managed by Berry Trimier in which they performed at parties near colleges to attract the younger audience. They eventually signed to King Records' Federal in which their first song 'Please, Please, Please' was their first hit single.
