James Brown: A Strict Disciplinarian, a Brilliant Songwriter, and the Night He Saved Boston

This is one of several Articles that Paul Romaine has written on Celebrity Singers and Songwriters.

There are no negative comments about the artists that he writes about. The articles contain interesting information about the individual and Paul always tries to insert positive traits about the artist that are meritorious.

This is the story of James Brown who always made sure his group was at their peak for performing and would dock part of their pay if they weren't.

He was also a brilliant songwriter and humanitarian.

The Night He Saved Boston is the story of a concert he was scheduled to give at the Boston Garden. Unfortunately it was at one of the most tense times in the history of our nation. It was scheduled on the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. had been assassinated in Tennessee. Due to James' handling of the situation the city would be eternally grateful for what he did.

The story of how he handled another unpopular situation concerning the Vietnam war is also admirable.
