About
The J.B.'s (sometimes punctuated The JB's or The J.B.s) was James Brown's band from 1970 through the early 1980s. On records, the band was sometimes billed under alternate names such as Fred Wesley and the JBs, The James Brown Soul Train, Maceo and the Macks, A.A.B.B., Fred Wesley and the New JBs, The First Family, and The Last Word. In addition to backing Brown, the J.B.'s played behind Bobby Byrd, Lyn Collins, and other singers associated with the James Brown Revue, and performed and recorded as a self-contained group. In 2015, they were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but failed to be inducted and can be considered for Musical Excellence in the future. They have been eligible since 1995.

The J.B.'s (parfois ponctué JB ou The JBs) était le nom de l'orchestre de James Brown de 1970 au début des années 1980. Sur les disques, le groupe était parfois présenté sous d'autres noms, tels que Fred Wesley and The JBs, The James Brown Soul Train, Maceo and the Macks, A.A.B.B., The First Family et The Last Word. En plus d'épauler James Brown, The J.B.'s ont joué aux côtés de Bobby Byrd, Lyn Collins et d’autres chanteurs associés à la James Brown Revue. Ils ont aussi joué et enregistré comme un groupe autonome. En 2015, ils ont été nommés pour l'intronisation au Rock and Roll Hall of Fame mais n'ont pas réussi à être intronisés et peuvent prétendre au rang « Musical Excellence » à l'avenir. Ils sont éligibles depuis 1995.
