Bobby Byrd was a young gospel singer when, in 1952 while playing in a baseball game against the prisoners of a Georgia prison, he met inmate, James Brown. Byrd was so impressed after hearing Brown sing for inmates that he helped arrange for Brown’s parole. Byrd then helped guide Brown’s career while singing and writing songs with him.
