The Godfather Of Soul Passes On



















The Heavens got one Hell of a Christmas gift this morning.
James Joseph Brown, Jr. passed away in Atlanta, he was 73.

I had the privilege of witnessing him at the outstanding
DC 9:30 club last December. The Band was stellar and
he was as consummate a showman as ever.

I've been listening to him all day and checking out
YouTube vids. Found some terrific ones, enjoy.

On a lighter note, Eddie Murphy's classic SNL Hot Tub skit:



RIP JB
