a sad sad christmas, the "Godfather Of Soul" has passed away (on Christmas Day of course, leave it up to Mr. Brown to go out in style) and the world just won't be as funky anymore. One of music's greatest innovators, songwriters, and performers. Anyone who's ever bobbed their head to a funky beat, tapped their toes, danced all night long in a club to a serious groove, rhymed over a beat, jammed with other musicians over a one chord funky rhythm, or just screamed out, heyyy! i feel good! i knew that i would! Knows exactly what the world just lost. If you don't then go and pick up some James Brown ANY James Brown music and just listen. If it doesn't bring a smile to your face and a bounce to your step, then you're dead inside anyways and i'm not talking to you. To everyone else let's all raise a glass to the man and get ready to count it off...a 1, 2, 3, 4! Get up, get on up! We love you James Brown, rest in peace and thank you for everything.
