    R.I.P. Looking at the photo on that site, he was looking a little worse for wear. Maybe didnt come as a surprise to some. My condolences go out to his family.

    Rip James Brown. "I saw Papa cry when he thought that I would die...... I saw Papa cry when he thought that I would die ..... He said somethin' was in his eye.... But I knew it was a lie."

    I love you James. The only was I can descibe him is top 3 performers of all time. If anyone isnt familiar with his style look up some of his live performances on You tube. I would recoment the song "this is a mans world" It shows him in all of his glory.

    Man, this is the worst news I've heard all year. James was my man, one of my main inspirations in music. I saw him at Hyde Park not too long ago and he was great. He was a carefree spirit and a true genius. I'll miss him.

    RIP.
