Showtime is the eighth studio album by American musician James Brown. The album was released in April 1964, by Smash Records.[2] It was the transition album from King Records to Smash Records, however, handicapped by contractual obligations with King Records, Brown released an album of remakes overdubbed with canned applause.[1] Brown's vocal group, The Famous Flames are included in the albums intro, are featured on the album's cover, and are featured on several of the album's tracks, including "Don't Cry Baby", "Out of The Blue" and "Caldonia". The album was arranged by Sammy Lowe.
