<p>Hey Perry... Can you pull off another interview coup, like you did when Pryor died? That would be great. </p><p>Fuck. I was just about to go to bed. I can't go to bed, with this as my last news from the world.</p>

When they found his body, they told him to Git up-ah, git on up... but he couldn't.

[Doctor Z]

The EMS threw a cape around his shoulders in hopes of reviving him, but to no avail.

[Doctor Z]

I guess if James Brown dead is what you wanted for Christmas, Santa delivered in a big way.

[Reephdweller]

Damn sorry to hear that. Rest in peace.

Sad, but he might as well have &quot;died&quot; 20 years ago.&nbsp; RIP, Godfather.

This may top the return of ron and fez as the best christmas present ever

<p>I guess it was pointless to ask if he felt good.</p><p>Ah well....RIP James. We never understood you when you talked but you sure as hell could make us dance.</p>

JB headlined as the musical portion of the 'Rumble in the Jungle' so you get to see James playing in Zaire in 1974 in top form, while others saying the guy was over the hill and should retire. In 1974, and he was booked here in NJ this Sat for New Year's Eve Eve. </p><p>That's longevity.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[A.J.]

<p>&quot;I woke up yesterday morning and I heard a disturbing sound.&nbsp; It was the jingle-jangle of&nbsp;a Soul Brother Number One.&quot;</p><p><img src="http://www.thelin.net/laurent/cinema/films/tt0080455/28208.jpg" border="0" width="162" height="100" /></p>

[Tenbatsuzen]

<p>BTW, I parroted Dr. Z's joke at work today, while we were online in the Company Cafe.&nbsp; It went totally over my boss's head, but someone else waiting in line, who was african-american, was in absolute hysterics.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Doctor Z]

<p>I feel robbed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>...and cheated.&nbsp;</p>

[Tenbatsuzen]

<p>And FWIW, Z, you've been much funnier and less whiny in this new persona.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[GonzoStyle]

James Brown is the only Reason to watch Rocky 4.

[angrymissy]

<p>Does anyone remember that techno song &quot;James Brown is Dead&quot;?&nbsp; </p><p>This made me look that song up and I swear to god I had flashbacks </p>

One of the best things I've ever seen was when I was at a Dave Matthews concert at MSG and James Brown came out and they did Sex Machine.&nbsp; The crowd went ballistic.&nbsp; Thanks for the memory Soul Brother #1.

<p>I heard on the news today that he had this pimped out hearse bring him to the Apollo, and he was laying in a 24 carat casket gold or something. Cant find any other pix yet. </p><p>Anyone can find some more pix, please post them. I'd LOVE to see them. Especially the hearse. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
