"Mr. Dynamite," "Soul Brother No. 1," "the Minister of Super Heavy Funk" and "the Godfather of Soul," James Brown passed away this December. The area I live in is about 20 minutes from Augusta, GA so around here this was a big deal. Many complained that it got more media coverage than the death of Gerald Ford. The tribute concert was a Who's Who of funk musicians including Bootsy Collins.
I looked up some of James Brown's older hits and he could really sing.
James Brown, you will be missed.
