"His father gave him a harmonica that he taught himself to play, and Brown sang gospel with friends, emulating the Golden Gate Quartet. Other members of the Augusta community guided his musical development: the famous Tampa Red taught him some guitar, and Leon Austin and a Mr. Dink taught him piano and drums respectively. Brown listened to gospel, popular music, blues, and jazz. His exposure to Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five's short film Caldonia convinced him that he should be an entertainer. At the age of 11, Brown won an amateur-night contest at the Lenox Theater for singing "So Long" and started a trio called Cremona in which he played piano, drums, and sang."

Brown was inspired to become an entertainer after watching Louis Jordan, a popular jazz and R&B performer during the 1940s, and His Tympany Five in a short film performing "Caldonia." He also enjoyed gospel music.

"The Godfather of Soul" who had 119 hit songs loved his own kind of music which was funky pop music. His songs were played by his band, The Soul Generals, at his funeral.
He was truly one of a kind.
