The One True Godfather

Sad Xmas day news for true musicphiles. The 'Godfather of Soul' James Brown died today. He was a titan, THE Titan, of soul and R&B music through the 60s and early 70s. For every big saccharine Motown hit by the Supremes et. al., there were 5 huge ass-movin' soulfunk hits that James grunted and grooved out. You can never hear James and not wanna' shake that thang. He was a mess, what with getting high on PCP and shooting at people, oh... and beating the hell out of his wives, but he was the Godfather. I'll take 1, any 1, J.B. song over every song in every catalog from today's hip-hop features. They all steal from him anyway.
