Two Youtube links in the thread and none of them to an actual James Brown performance??! For shame.

Soul Brother Number One, rest in peace.

I heard about his death, yesterday. It is sad that he died around the winter season. I always liked the "I Feel Good" song. He'll be missed.

 

RIP James Brown, the king of soul

So some coke he couldn't handle, then? I always thought he was a psychotropic fiend. PCP can mess you up bad.

 

But it's sad (telling?) that he'll probably be known more for his vices than the occasional amazing song he'd make, or the dancing that made him a legend. I'd be all cynical and say he won't be remembered fondly ala Ray Charles because he didn't "white up" his music so much, but he made just as many clunkers towards the end as Ray did. Shame.

 

 

I'm betting he'll be remembered as the Godfather of Soul.

Nah, it'll be the scene from Rocky IV, as The Godfather of Soul. :aiee:

I don't know. Kids these days are more acquainted with his mug shot (there it is on the first page) than his music, even as ubiquitous as "I Feel Good" is.

 

 

Kids these days probably don't really know nor care much about James Brown.

Yeah, all they care about is updating their MySpace pages and their crappy screamo bands and their nuclear jetpacks. Damn kids!

 

 

But seriously, the Hardest-Working Man in Show Business has earned his rest.

RIP James Brown. May he wage his ubiquitous mojo on the divine hinterlands too.
