James Brown dead, at 73

[IJ Reilly]

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.

In the future I'm going to play some James Brown instead of X-mass music

I think that is a brilliant idea! I'm so sick of this soul dstroying holiday music. Gimme some of that funky drummer Yah!

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.

Same here!

Eddie Murphy sure did a good impression!

 

[PippinTheJedi]

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

May he RIP.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

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

He gave his life for Father Christmas
