    stage presence and awesome musical force

    Every time I see The Commitments, and they watch James Brown acting as injured and hobblingback on stage to perform, it made me laugh at his crowd skillz

    RIP man

    A true legend. A lot of people from the younger generation might not have heard of him, but almost all of his songs have been sampled by dance music / hip hop / sould / R&B in the last 20 years or more, so indirectly, they will know his stuff.

    And what a day to go?

    I was sad to learn he'd died. He was just too funky to die. At least he lives on in his ever-funky music.
