R.I.P. James Brown

[Fortune]

I don't have a link yet, but apperantly (according to his agent) Legendary Performer James Brown has passed away at the age of 73.

Sad news indeed, he was apperantly admitted to the hospital yesterday for severe pneumonia, quite a counterweight to the happiness of the Christmas season is the death of the Godfather of funk.

Yes he passed away about 1:45 AM

Sad to see him go, another musical legend who has moved on.

Oh shit! I was looking at his MySpace last night and thinking, "Man, this guy will never quit. He has 40 stops in 2 months"

I saw him last year in concert at the House of Blues in Hollywood. He was awesome, and I don't like blues almost completly. He was something great.


This saddens me......A close friend of mine loves James Brown and this is really gunna upset him.


RIP James.
