James Brown is Dead

Damn, just like the old song goes: "James Brown is Dead".
The godfather of soul passed away this morning in a Georgia Hospital after being admitted yesterday for pneumonia. He died of congestive heart failure.
Truly, a legend of our time, he brought the funk and the most sampled track in hip hop: "The Funky Drummer" to music. The hardest working man in showbiz, finally gets a little rest.
