Showtime is the seventh
studio album by American musician
James Brown. The album was released in April 1964, by
Smash Records.[3] It was the transition album from
King Records to Smash Records, however, limited by contractual obligations with
King Records, Brown released an album of remakes overdubbed with canned applause.[1] Brown's vocal group,
The Famous Flames are included in the album's introduction, are featured on the album's cover, and are featured on several of the album's tracks including "Don't Cry Baby", "Out of the Blue" and "
Caldonia". The album was arranged by
Sammy Lowe.
In mid 2018, some 54 years after its original 1964 release on vinyl, this album, Showtime by James Brown & The Famous Flames, was released on CD for the first time.[4][5]
