Nonstop! - James Brown

AMG Review

By the time of this release, James Brown and Polydor had parted ways, and Brown was recording for T.K. Records. Thus, this is a contractual obligation release, the last album on Brown's ten-year Polydor deal, and it is perfunctory, consisting of rhythmic remakes of Brown evergreens with titles like "Popcorn 80s" and "Super Bull/Super Bad." Released with zero promotion, it sank without a trace, Brown's first album in memory not even to make the R&B charts. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
