RIP James Brown
James Brown, the dynamic, pompadoured "Godfather of Soul," whose rasping vocals and revolutionary rhythms made him a founder of rap, funk and disco as well, died early today, his agent said. He was 73.Brown was hospitalized with pneumonia at Emory Crawford Long Hospital on Sunday and died around 1:45 a.m. today, said his agent, Frank Copsidas of Intrigue Music. Longtime friend Charles Bobbit was by his side, he said.
Copsidas said Brown's family was being notified of his death and that the cause was still uncertain. "We really don't know at this point what he died of," he said. RIP. |

Re: RIP James Brown
Yep, very sad, another legend passes over. I would also argue about his "Godfather of Soul" monicker, as I would award that title to the late Otis Redding. Still, a true black music great. My favourite of his was "Night Train" (as featured on the soundtrack of Quadrophenia). RIP, Mr Excitement.

Re: RIP James Brown
I liked him - watching him on tv and listening to his music. Couldnt believe it when they said he'd died on news this teatime. Thats another one gone.

Mr Entertainment and the Godfather of Soul. R.I.P.
He was one of the few acts who could fill a dance floor with people of all ages. Class.

Re: RIP James Brown
 Yup, looks like "papa's got a brand new bag" although I'm sure he doesn't "feel good!" It is sad to me when these performers who I've grown up with, whether I like em much or not pass on. Usually always leaves a weird empty kinda feeling inside! Brian

I personally thought Living In America was a decent track

Re: RIP James Brown
He had the best afro hair in show business, perhaps second only to Little Richard.
