Soul Session Live is a 1989 live album by James Brown. Credited on the album cover to "James Brown & Friends", it features guest performances from Joe Cocker, Wilson Pickett, Billy Vera, and Robert Palmer. It also includes one studio track, "Gimme Your Love", a duet between Brown and Aretha Franklin, which was their first and only recording together. It was released in connection with an HBO/Cinemax concert film, Soul Session.[3]
Two of the album's tracks were nominated for Grammy Awards at the 1990 ceremony: "Gimme Your Love", for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, and Cocker's solo rendition of "When a Man Loves a Woman", for Best R&B Song.[4]

On Friday it was Brown and his band plus Pickett working through 16 songs in an hour and 40 minutes, from the gospel-tinged pathos of "Try Me" and "Georgia" to the frenzied funk of "Doing It to Death," "Sex Machine" and "Make It Funky." And on Saturday, when it seemed like things couldn't get too much better, Brown and his guests pulled out all the stops in a 15-song, two-hour throwdown that battered every corner of the club.
