RIP James Brown

[rustyshackleford]

The legendary "Godfather of Soul" died early today in Atlanta. I'll never forget his intro in Rocky where he was singin "Coming to America". He was one of the finest performers and a class act.

That was actually "Living in America". But I agree, despite some troubles, he was an electrifying performer.

A true innovator. Without James Brown, there would have been no P-Funk, no Rick James, no Sly Stone, and no Prince. Rest In Peace, Godfather. You've earned it.

Anybody who has Kim Basinger, Carmen Electra, Vanity, Appolonia, Shelia E, and Sheena Easton on his resume counts as a man in my book.
