Lusty Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 First thing I heard on the news this Christmas morning. The Godfather of Soul who brought us such hits as "Get up offa that thing"and "Mamma's got a brand new bag" has left us. Goodbye James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Oh, my ... he was in and out of trouble and didn't take care of his health either. But he was a great entertainer. Sorry to hear of his passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 << His hit singles include such classics as "Out of Sight," "(Get Up I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine," "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "Say It Out Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud," a landmark 1968 statement of racial pride. "I clearly remember we were calling ourselves colored, and after the song, we were calling ourselves black," Brown said in a 2003 Associated Press interview. "The song showed even people to that day that lyrics and music and a song can change society." >> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
