JAMES BROWN
(3 May 1933- 26 December 2006)



Just a couple simple pictures to honor the Godfather of Soul James Brown who passed away this week. I have a couple CDs here of hits and one of my favorite songs is The Big Payback. The one album I have that is not a hits collection is called Jungle Groove and there is not a dull moment on it. Has the feminist friendly Hot Pants on it. I will try to do a little research and write a more fitting memorial to this really cool guy who had a lot of personal problems but turned out some fantastic and funky tunes. His stuff from the early and mid sixties is still fresh and great. Full of funk and fun and soul.

This picture looks so cool for some reason. That dog has some spacy eyes. Just what the hell is going on here? Is this his dog or what?

Here is Mr Funk just doing what he does. There are several hits collections out there and the two I have together cover the best he did as far I know. Ever notice with these greatest hit albums you have to buy two at least to get all the songs you really consider the best of?
There are a few good looking sites on the web and a few bad ones. I skimmed this one and found some uranium matter in it. Links to other funk, Motown,and real R&B sites:
