Description:

Released on King Records in 1963, “Prisoner of Love” was one of James Brown’s earliest forays into lush, orchestrated soul. Backed by strings and restrained rhythm, Brown delivers a heartfelt, almost crooner-like vocal that reveals his mastery of traditional pop phrasing while retaining gospel depth. It marked his crossover from R&B shouter to sophisticated soul stylist.

The B-side, “Choo-Choo,” contrasts sharply with its elegance — a lively, dance-floor rhythm number driven by bright horns and a playful beat. The pairing illustrates the duality of early James Brown: the sensitive balladeer and the tireless entertainer.
