He was truly a icon, I remember he was given a lifetime acheivement award at the BET awards. Michael Jackson was almost in tears presenting to award to James. we lost a legend. There’s no words to describe what he’s done for black people and for music all around the world. James Brown will be missed forever.

Rest in Peace James Brown
ICON! LEGEND!
Without James Brown there would be no Michael Jackon, no Prince, no Rick James, no Rock and Roll, and NO HIP HOP. James Brown was the nucleus of Music for the last fifty years. Think of all of the artist that dance on stage while performing, it all started it with Mr. Brown. James Brown is the History of Music in this counrty. It is not a coincidence that they call him the “Godfather of Soul”. REST IN PEACE Jimmy, you’ve earned it!
about 20 years ago, Michael Jackson & Prince showed up at a James Brown Concert.
He invited BOTH of them onstage !!

I’ve been sitting here for about 8 minutes trying to figure out what to type and I can’t think of one thing. Of course I will ask the Lord to allow his soul to RIP but there has to be more than that, I mean come on this is James Brown….
The man that made the world wanna get up and dance and told us to have a funky good time while doing so.
As time goes on we start to lose the ones we grew up listening to and loved, James is another amongst the greats that will be missed. That must be one heck of a party up there in heaven today.
This is a mans world but it wouldn’t be nothing without a boy or a girl..
R.I.P. James Brown. He truly helped to set the standard for all performers to come. Wish his family the best.
OMG that is so sad. Like someone already said, all our ledgends are passing away this year. Rest in peace JB aka the godfather of soul.
