I know old people are supposed to die in winter, but why can't it be some other old people, one's that weren't James Brown.

I really expected him to go out big, in some violent haze of PCP. this is kind of a let-down.

I nearly punched the girl who suggested it was AIDS.

edits: We've all got, or have at least heard them, but the songs on triple j's James Brown mixtape (http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/music_specials/s1562883.htm) made my night at work all the sweeter. In 05 he headlined the festival that the Beastie Boys will headline next February. Just sayin.

Ironically, I received Soul On Top on vinyl for Christmas.

Nice Mix....I own "Star Time" the James Brown box-set (It Will Take You Years to Understand This Much Funk), it is the best musical purchase available on planet earth. The The-Breaks.com. (http://www.the-breaks.com/) is impossible to reach through the front door so I used the back.....James Brown is the #1 most sampled (http://www.the-breaks.com/perl/stats.pl) man on the planet(903 times)!

Enjoy that celebrity hot tub up in the sky James.

I got the Bootsy Collins Christmas album and listened to it Xmas Eve. I had no idea the significance -- nor did Bootsy -- when mentioned James Brown.

The Associated Press story credited him as a pioneer of RAP, SOUL, FUNK, DISCO. :cool:

This cat is going to missed, what a great spirit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVhSmvIJovE).

Guess Nas will use the song "Where R they Now" as his new single (samples James Brown). RIP his influence is without a doubt (Prince, MJ etc)

My brother is gonna keep his ticket as opposed to returning for sentimental value....me,I need the 78 bucks back.....FREE JAMES BROWN....PUT HIM IN THE GROUND ALREADY!!!! :mad:
