no, really. ;_; rip, godfather ;_;

By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writer 1 minute ago

James Brown, the legendary singer known as the "Godfather of Soul," has died, his agent said early Monday. He was 73.

Brown was hospitalized with pneumonia on Sunday at Emory Crawford Long Hospital and died around 1:45 a.m. Monday, said his agent, Frank Copsidas of Intrigue Music. Longtime friend Charles Bobbit was by his side, he said.

Copsidas said Brown's family was being notified of his death and that the cause was still uncertain. "We really don't know at this point what he died of," he said.

Along with Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and a handful of others, Brown was one of the major musical influences of the past 50 years. At least one generation idolized him, and sometimes openly copied him. His rapid-footed dancing inspired Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson among others. Songs such as David Bowie's "Fame," Prince's "Kiss," George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" and Sly and the Family Stone's "Sing a Simple Song" were clearly based on Brown's rhythms and vocal style.

If Brown's claim to the invention of soul can be challenged by fans of Ray Charles and Sam Cooke, then his rights to the genres of rap, disco and funk are beyond question. He was to rhythm and dance music what Dylan was to lyrics: the unchallenged popular innovator.

"James presented obviously the best grooves," rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy once told The Associated Press. "To this day, there has been no one near as funky. No one's coming even close."

His hit singles include such classics as "Out of Sight," "(Get Up I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine," "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "Say It Out Loud — I'm Black and I'm Proud," a landmark 1968 statement of racial pride.

"I clearly remember we were calling ourselves colored, and after the song, we were calling ourselves black," said in a 2003 Associated Press interview. "The song showed even people to that day that lyrics and music and a song can change society."

He won a Grammy award for lifetime achievement in 1992, as well as Grammys in 1965 for "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" (best R&B recording) and for "Living In America" in 1987 (best R&B vocal performance, male.) He was one of the initial artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, along with Presley, Chuck Berry and other founding fathers.

He triumphed despite an often unhappy personal life. Brown, who lived in Beech Island near the Georgia line, spent more than two years in a South Carolina prison for aggravated assault and failing to stop for a police officer. After his release on in 1991, Brown said he wanted to "try to straighten out" rock music.

From the 1950s, when Brown had his first R&B hit, "Please, Please, Please" in 1956, through the mid-1970s, Brown went on a frenzy of cross-country tours, concerts and new songs. He earned the nickname "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business."

With his tight pants, shimmering feet, eye makeup and outrageous hair, Brown set the stage for younger stars such as Michael Jackson and Prince.

In 1986, he was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And rap stars of recent years overwhelmingly have borrowed his lyrics with a digital technique called sampling.

Brown's work has been replayed by the Fat Boys, Ice-T, Public Enemy and a host of other rappers. "The music out there is only as good as my last record," Brown joked in a 1989 interview with Rolling Stone magazine.

"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 told the AP in 2003.

It doesn't matter where it's going to
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.

You know the more things change, the more they stay the same. It may be a different age but I'm on the same page. 'Cause there's one thing I have found--I'll still be digging on James Brown." - Tower of Power

This is awful news. My James Brown story is probably dull but this is it: when I was 20 or 21 years old, I remember knowing JB only from what I'd hear on oldies radio - the hits, which were great of course but I'd never really gotten into them. They were already part of the background, the fabric. Then one day I was at Music Plus in Norwalk and I thought I'd buy Star Time on cassette; it was 1989 I think & I didn't own a CD player yet. A day or two later I drove into Claremont to see my friend Mark. I put on the tapes and then Mark had to go to work, but his roommate (also named Mark) was really transfixed. Roommate Mark & I hadn't really done all that much hanging out together, but we sat there listening to the really long jams - Papa's, Mother Popcorn - with our jaws on the floor, missing appointments we'd meant to keep just to not have to break the spell, and goin' "OK, why didn't somebody grab me & shake me & tell me JAMES BROWN SIDES ARE THE GREATEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE"? 'Cause on that afternoon it really seemed like there couldn't be any music more transcendent or timeless, and like the music opened onto something much bigger than music for entertainment's sake. I remember about eight minutes' worth of one tune going my in silence and then Mark just saying "wow," not in response to any riff or fill but just the totality of it.

Is this the biggest rock death since George Harrison in 2001? (and when I say "biggest" I mean in terms of likely coverage and such)

Likely, yes, although Johnny Cash got quite a bit of media coverage too. Obviously, even though personally I think he brought it in the wrong direction, Brown had an enormous impact on today's popular music. Obviously more so than the aformentioned Johnny Cash.

― Geir Hongro (geirhong), Monday, 25 December 2006 14:20 (seventeen years ago) link

ugh we were just talking last night, quite morbidly, about the stage we're at now 50+ years after rock n' roll kicked off so of course lots of modern musical icons, entertainment and industry veterans will be passing away these days and i was thinking of Brown then because of his health problems even tho he looked pretty good all things considered and 73 isn't so old.

― sede vacante (blueski), Monday, 25 December 2006 14:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Polydor has been so good for so long about parceling out his stuff that I have to imagine they'll open the gates even more now that JB has passed. They always seemed to have him involved in some manner with all the reissues and compilations, so maybe there's stuff he wasn't sure about that they were that will see light now. (This post is entirely conjecture, btw. Well, that and wishful thinking.)

i dunno bout you but i've been (happily!) surprised at the scale of the national week of james brown. even with ford and saddam going down in the same week, he held his own, media-wise. i guess i'm used to people not getting due deference. my surprise is probably partly from having grown up after his prime (unless you extend his prime to "living in america") and so not fully knowing how much his significance was recognized contemporaneously, or how many people in their 40s, 50s and 60s have a deep abiding love for the man. anyway, it's been gratifying. he's been given a good send-off.

http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=zv4grqnm9j&ref=index.php
Pinch us, we're dreaming – a lost album from The JBs! The set's a treasure for any fans of the funky James Brown sound of the early 70s – and it features material originally recorded for release as the first full length album by The JBs in 1972 – but never issued at the time! A few cuts here made it onto other records and singles in different versions, but others are completely fresh – and heard here for the first time ever – really helping expand our understanding of the group at this point in their career. Dave Matthews did a lot of the arrangements for the set, and there's a surprising amount of jazz in the mix, too – lots of full horn passages that show Fred Wesley leading the group with a damn hard-swinging sound – mixed in with just the right degree of soul you'd expect, but in ways that are different than some of the later JBs jams. Titles include "Transmograpification", "Use Me", "Everybody Plays The Fool", "Sweet Loneliness", "Watermelon Man", "Secret Love", "You've Got A Friend", and "Seulb". CD also features 4 bonus non-LP singles – "Funky & Some", "JB Shout", "Back Stabbers", and "Alone Again Naturally" – all killer funky 45s

― tylerw_sandbox, Tuesday, 6 December 2011 23:19 (twelve years ago) link

hmmm probably... altho I'm aware of a bunch of those covers being issued as People Records 45s. Involvement of Dave Matthews is a little bit of an eyebrow raiser.

this dave matthews is the one that gets a shout out on 'love power peace' for leading the additional horns & strings, probably arranged them too.

and while he's an interesting dude (and that album is pretty odd) I don't think the stuff he did with JB really played to JB's strengths
