He's kinda like a combination of Jackie Wilson and James Brown.

I think he was loosely based on James Brown.

I always suspected he was a microcosm. I noticed elements of James Brown, Marvin Gaye and some Otis Redding.

...and Paul Williams
Yeah, it was a combination of different folks including Little Richard, though only from the 'I was the originator' aspect of the character. None of the others boosted starting anything. There really wasn't a single artist in that area that was identical to Jimmy. James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, (list goes on) never was in a true slump--i.e. 'needing a new sound'. We suffered from too many great artists who died early during that era.

I say Little Richard, James Brown, a mix of David Ruffin and Marvin for sure.
