James Brown 1933-2006

[SynthesizedStampede]

Man, what a huge loss for the world. Godfather of soul, funkiest man alive. Without him the b-boy culture probably wouldn't be where it is today.

Rest in Paradise...

God Bless you, James brown.
Last year Ray Charles died I think. And Marlon Brando.
Soo many legends passing on ):

Another legend passes. The original Blues Brothers was on cable the other day and I can still remember the church scene vividly... Who's next, Arethra?

[zircon]

Rest in peace. This man inspired entire genres of music. We even had to learn James Brown style drumming in my Percussion I class.

But in all seriousness, it does suck. And on Christmas Day too.

[Broken]

God bless him, and may his music be an inspiration for generations to come.

He didn't feel so good, I knew that he would.

I don't know.
The Hardest Working Man in Show Business finally gets his Rest...

James Brown is one of the all-time greats and one of my personal fav artists. It's sad to see him go, but it had to come sooner or later. Greatest James Brown moment? Rocky IV, of course.

Also, James Brown went straight to hell. It fits him better.

[Yellow 13]

Rest in peace, James. You will be missed.

:cry:

[Blake]

A true innovator who will be immortalized as long as music exists in our world.

DON'T SAY THAT!!!

Yeah seriously.

:cry:

I'm gonna say it loud. I'm black and I'm proud.

R.I.P. James Brown.

[Nec5]

I'm sorry to say that "this is a man's world" is no more. :(

[Sega.]

This is very sad news indeed.

Long live the Funk.

I just finished reading this great article in USA Today about James and how influential he was in many genres. He may not have been the nicest guy, but he was an important man in the evolution of music. Even outside of music, he did great work with the Black Power movement and helping to quiet riots.

Also, I want to get his last album, which was put out in '02. That way I would have the beginning and end of The Hardest Working Man In Show Business.

[A-RoN]

The best of the funkiest musicians I've ever known.

I hope Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt weren't in the same room with him wearing a gadget tuxedo yesterday.

Joking aside, RIP, funky-man. This'll get me listening to your tunage more often.
