"Godfather Of Soul" James Brown (1933-2006)

One of this centuries most electrifying performers has passed away. James Brown expired at 1:45 a.m., after checking into the hospital yesterday. Needless to say he will be definitely missed. He was one of the last few pioneers from his era still on the scene. His music was tops on the charts for four decades, with an extended life from being sampled in today's Rap music.

James Brown's Body to Lie at Apollo
By LARRY NEUMEISTER, AP
NEW YORK (Dec. 27) - The body of soul singer James Brown will be returned Thursday to the site of his debut - the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem - so the public that saw and heard him leave a lasting impression on music can see him one last time, the Rev. Al Sharpton said Tuesday.

You die like you live. James Brown's life was in disarray up until the day he died.

Was Tommi Rae Brown really his wife? She was apparently on drugs up to his death. They haven't said what he died from yet.
