Al Sharpton, Chuck D, Dallas Austin, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Bootsy Collins, LL Cool J, more, ‘Loud’ will not only shine a spotlight on Brown’s beloved music catalog but also talk about his rise to prominence from the Jim Crow-era South to become one of music history’s most celebrated and influential artists.
