RIP James Brown.
I saw the news on CNN yesterday morning, they cut away to show it, I was on the phone with my brother and just said "oh shit".
He is one of a kind, the godfather, the master of soul music, his sound, his energy, he is still felt in all music today and will be felt for all eternity.
I'm 35, so I caught the second wave of the JB sound, when Public Enemy, Eric B and Rakim and BDP started sampling his music and effectively started the golden age of hip hop riding the ripples of his powerful vibey waves.
Peace and Blessings to the man, the legend, the funk master, the hardest working man in showbusiness.
Peace to James Brown
PS - good link below, I watched this doc on him a few years back, gives some deeper insight into the man:
