Grits & Soul is the eighth studio album by American musician James Brown. The album was released in August of 1964 by Smash Records. Brown does not sing on the album; he was sidestepping his contract obligations with King Records. Instead, Brown plays keyboards. This is the first known recording of Maceo Parker, seen on the right of the album cover, at this point on baritone saxophone.
