Godfather of Soul, dead at 73
Entertainer James Brown died early (1:45 a.m.) Christmas Day at the Emory Crawford Long Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia where he was admitted on Sunday with pneumonia. James Brown, to me, was not just a soul singer, he was an artist as a entertainer. His music is still heard today and has inspired many others to accommodate his style of stage performance that include a dance that was distinctively the one and only James Brown. A dance style that was so distinctive that many times people could recognize just by seeing his feet!
James Brown has appeared in many movies, one of my personal favorites, the Blues Brothers and has produced over 100 songs that hit the chart top. Though James Brown has left us, his music, art and dance style will live on forever.
