RIP, Godfather of Soul

[Prudence]

The hardest working man in show business has taken his final encore.

A pioneer in music no doubt. RIP

[Motorboat Cruiser]

Wow, what a shock.

He was definitely an innovator, creating the genre of funk and soul. Had his share of problems, for sure, but left a heck of a legacy.

RIP, James.

Aw, sad. I'll be sure to queue up Let's Make Christmas Mean Something This Year sometime today, in tributational memorium.

Not singing "I feel good" today, I suppose.

[MouseWife]

Oh, I bet he is. :snap:

The other night, Bornieo and I had a great laugh at James Brown's expense, now I feel kind of weird (not good).

[Tref]

This just in, James Brown, does not feel good.

[Ghoulish Delight]

This just in, James Brown, does not feel good.
And he knew that he wouldn't...

"He was having pain before, but then the pain went away and he told me 'I'm going away tonight,"' Charles Bobbit, Brown's personal manager and longtime friend, told reporters.

As we drove down to San Diego via the I-15, we passed a billboard announcing "James Brown - Live at Harrah's"

Something tells me that they had someone out to that billboard on Tuesday morning.

[Not Afraid]

OT - I saw a Shriners billboard in Belmont Shore this morning. I think I need to take a picture.
