Source: AcousticBrainz, dump of 2022-06-23 (CC0) · MusicBrainz core data, 2026-09-17 (CC0) · how each number is measured. Measured up to 23.06.2022 — AcousticBrainz stopped collecting in 2022, so nothing released after that date is here.

12 recordings credited to James Brown cleared this site's bar of 125 analyses. Their median tempo is 114.5 BPM; 92% of them are in a major key.

3 of the 12 are in A flat major, which is more than any other key in this catalogue.

The tempo they cluster in is 110–119 BPM, with 5 of them; the fastest here is Night Train at 129.7 BPM and the slowest The Payback at 97.9.

This is a count of what AcousticBrainz's contributors happened to analyse, not a discography: a recording nobody ran the extractor over is simply absent.
