Craig Charles celebrates the life, legacy and music of James Brown, ten years on from his death.

10 years after James Brown's death (he died Christmas day 2006) Craig celebrates the life, legacy and music of James Brown. Behind the windows of our specially created audio advent calendar will be treats for the 6 Music listeners. It could be a long lost record, a specially commissioned remix of a classic James Brown tune, an interview with ex band members or some secret special surprises that not even Craig knows about.... he's like a kid on Xmas Eve with excitement! In the run up to Christmas our funky advent calendar will celebrate the late, great James Brown, the man we all have to thank for the music we love.
