No, THIS is what James Brown is all about!

It really doesn't get much f.u.n.k.i.e.r than that! Boy!

Yeah, that other stuff sucked.

Just downloaded Live At The Apollo. I didn't even know he was sick. And at Christmas too. 🙁 Very sad.

A James Brown Christmas.

I'm talking about his song called 'funky drummer'. Most sampled piece ever they say.

Nope the most sample piece of music ever (was actually kind of by him too). It's actually under the artist name Lyn Collins & The JBs (James Brown's backing band). The song is called Think (About It), and is just about the funkiest song ever recorded.

My dad used to play it in clubs, it had people going absolutely nuts. 😀

Eddie Murphy sure did a good impression! 😀

 

[PippinTheJedi]

He was in The Blues Brothers. One of my faves.

May he RIP.

Sad news indeed – a true legend who'll be sorely missed.
