Thinking About Little Willie John and a Few Nice Things is the 25th studio album by American musician James Brown. Released in December 1968 by King, little more than a half year since the death of Little Willie John, a prominent R&B singer from the mid-1950s to the 1960s, known for his short temper and tendency to abuse alcohol. A highly influential artist, Little Willie John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame posthumously in 1996.
