This is sad news for Jazz and funk people and the music industry as a whole. RIP James.

Oh no!

How sad, rip.:(

Aw I loved the man. :( Play that funky music, white boy? Pure class.

A real shame. Rest in Peace, James. :(

Yeah sad news. RIP James 'King of Soul' Brown. :(

RIP James Brown I never knew you, everyone did. :)

[q=Tower of Power]I've been through all them changes,
A lot of stuff came down.
I've dealt with all the issues,
You might say I've been around.
But back when I got started,
There was a righteous sound.

It doesn't matter what I've been through,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.

Ya know the more things change,
The more they stay the same.
It may be a different age,
But I'm on the same page.

Cause one thing that I've found,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.

I had an attitude adjustment,
I did some psycho therapy.
I helped myself to some self-help,
I dabbled in some ESP.
Though my world is ever-changing,
And I move from town to town,

It doesn't matter where I've been to,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.

Ya know the more things change,
The more they stay the same.
It may be a different age,
But I'm on the same page.

Cause one thing that I've found,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.

You got your rap and your disco,
You got your drum machine.
You got your R-rated gangster,
You got your grungy scene.
You got your state of the art,
You got your digital sound.

It doesn't matter where it's going to
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.

Take it to the bridge,
It'll get ya where ya live.
When there's water all around,
You can still get outta town,
And still be diggin' on James Brown.

Ya know the more things change,
The more they stay the same.
It may be a different age,
But I'm on the same page.

Cause one thing that I've found,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.[/q]

That's totally gutted. :(

He got a pretty good run, but yeah, this remains the worst Christmas I can remember for that.

i misread the title for james bond, and then i read james brown :( poor guy, christmas too..

:( Sad to hear this.

Greatest showman to walk the earth just passed away. Growing up listening to soul, I feel a piece of my childhood just died.

Don't really know him, but still knew who he was. RIP. Feel good in heaven. He's black and he will always be proud of it.

Rest in peace James Brown. Thanks for makin' us feel good. :(
