James Brown.

James Brown died on Christmas Day 2006. Bummer. James Brown was one of those cool performers that I have always enjoyed. Of course I tell everyone my favorite movie is "The Blues Brothers" so you quickly get the vibe of why I like James just from that movie.
On Thursday, members of the public will be able to view Brown's body, which will lie in state at the Apollo Theater in New York. The body also will lie in state on Saturday at James Brown Arena in Augusta, where the 1 p.m. public service will be held.
R&B baby. James you will be missed. Thankfully we have your recordings and you left your mark. Rock on James Brown.
