James Brown dies aged 73

The Godfather of Soul, James Brown, died yesterday aged 73.

Brown died early on Christmas Day at Atlanta's Emory Crawford Long Hospital of congestive heart failure.

I'd add more, but I think it's impossible to top this quote from Chuck D, "James presented obviously the best grooves. To this day, there has been no one near as funky. No one's coming even close."
