As I said on Mr. Kelly's post about the man, it is surreal to go to bed thinking about Eddie Murphy's most recent version of him and then to wake up filled with thoughts of the original product.

As James said and as I believe, "Do it to death."

Gonna Have A Funky Good Time

James Brown

it's been a weird mixture of excitment, joy and sadness in the last couple of hours. as we drank hot chocolate and opened our presents at my mom's house - as usual, i have the tv on CNN... and news hit and my jaw drops.

its a hard goodbye to James - he's influenced so much of the music that I love.

I went to bed clueless, having not turned on the television at all last night and woke up seeing all these posts about him and assuming it was because people had seen Dreamgirls. It never even occurred to me that James Brown could die.

He's a forever man.

And even in death, he still is.

Such a shame, I can't believe it.

This is the last song I listened to by him and the J.B.s recently. To me that's James Brown right there. That personifies him as much as the original T.A.M.I. show performance.

God rest the dead, man...

The Godfather
