13. Please, Please, Please. James Brown And The Famous Flames. March 1956.
Please, Please, Please isn't a great song, the lyrics are nothing to write home about, the backing is pedestrian, but what makes it a great record is James Brown himself, who wrings every ounce of emotion from the song. The record was a hit, selling thousands on its first release. It was to be another two years before James Brown had another hit and could claim the mantle of 'The Hardest Working Man In Show Business'.
