Anyone who enjoys any of the popular music formats of the last half century has heard JB, whether they know it or not. As the man himself said, "Disco is James Brown, hip-hop is James Brown, rap is James Brown; you know what I'm saying? You hear all the rappers, 90 percent of their music is me."
He was looking forward to doing a New Year's Eve show in spite of his illness.
"The Hardest Working Man In Show Business" has earned his rest...RIP, Mr Brown...
