Robert Lee Coleman is a pioneer in two of the most powerful genres of American music — soul and funk. Coleman played with soul legend Percy Sledge from 1964 to 1969, then joined the JB's, the backing band James Brown founded in 1970. Like many forms of African American music, soul and funk are rooted in gospel.
