One of the all-time greats. There will never be another one like him. He was innovative, revolutionary, and just plain balls-out funky. He leaves behind a formidable musical legacy which ranks near the top of the all-time list for 20th Century artists.

He had a long and interesting life..
He gained both fame and notoriety..
And he lived hard..

Rest In Peace, James Brown.. You were truly one of a kind..

Fox has announced it twice in the past few minutes. Nothing in depth yet.

This is a man's world
But it would be nothing, nothing
Not one little thing
Without a woman to care

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in the bitterness
He's lost, lost and .....

One of the musical giants of the latter half of the 20th century. Rest in peace, Mr. Brown. Prayers for his family.

He was doing appearances. The earlier reports had him cancelling two shows because he had developed pneumonia.

I hope that at some point while attempting recussitation, someone in the hospital yelled at him to GET UP! Get on up!"

No insult or disrespect intended. James Brown was an entertainer, and his job was to bring joy. He was good at it. He was an ecstatic singer, so let his passing be marked with ecstatic song; remembering him with mawkish weeping would be an insult.

Good run, sir. Get on out with your bad self.
