James Brown died at 73

On Christmas morning, around 1:45 AM, James Brown died in Emory Crawford Long Hospital. He had been hospitalised Sunday with pneumonia, but they aren't sure what he died of.

So now the "Godfather of Soul" is gone. In addition to helping create the soul genre along with others such as Ray Charles and Sam Cooke, James Brown had such a huge influence on rap, funk and disco. It's a sad day for music. I think I'll listen to "I Feel Good" in tribute.
