This 1969 recording of Soul on Top -- James Brown fronting drummer Louis Bellson's big band -- is no novelty. It's a signpost at the crossroads of jazz and soul. Brown croons ''That's My Desire'' with grace, and his signature screams sound like added horns on a boogaloo version of Hank Williams' ''Your Cheatin' Heart.'' Five extended tracks, especially ''Papa's Got a Brand New Bag,'' make this especially thrilling.
