James - we were privileged you made it to birth.
Thank you so much for what you gave us in your life & your inspiration that spawned so much more.

Rest happy. 8-)

Clock radio goes off this morning and that's the first damn thing I hear... please, please, please, Santa- take this back! Worse than a lump of coal... I never even got to see him perform in person...!   :'(

So suddenly, and so young ( for the likes of him)!! He was still hard at work, giving it up and turning it loose.
He embodied the passion, frustration, and determination of his entire race, and the times he lived in.

Thank you, Mr. Brown, for sharing all that excess mojo with such style and uncompromising individuality!!

Very sad.  :( I suppose he hadn't felt good for a while. :-?

Yeah and i read a interview with him he did on Christmas Eve where he said he would beat pneumonia and would be ready to perform New Years Eve.
