January 24, James Brown hits #24 with
"Ain't It Funky Now (Part 1)". By Pete
Allman This is one interview
you can't miss. It's one of my favorites -
not only because James Brown is one of the
greatest R&B performers around, but
because my good friend - entertainer,
producer -- Troy Cory, was there directing
the action. Everything was perfect, even
down to the legendary insert of Byrd
shouting -- in that preacher-like tone
of his -- "James Brown! James Brown!
James Brown! James Brown!" ///

James
Brown, (1933- 2006).
"James
Brown was always the first to help those
who needed help - especially - the
seasoned unknown
talent."
Pete Allman.
James Brown, who was most offten referred
to as "The Godfather of Soul", "was an
American entertainer recognized as one of
the most influential figures in
20th-century popular music," says Troy
Cory, of VRA TelePlay, and
producer/director of the legendary
Hollywood interview between Mr. Brown, and
Pete Allman in 2004 at the House of Blues.

The dynamic, "Godfather of Soul," whose
rasping vocals and revolutionary rhythms
made him a founder of rap, funk and disco
as well, died early Monday, his agent
said. He was 73
Brown was hospitalized with pneumonia at
Emory Crawford Long Hospital on Sunday and
died around 1:45 a.m. Monday, said Pete
Allman.
Along with Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and
Little Richard, Brown was one of the major
musical influences of the past 50
years
At
least one generation idolized him, and
sometimes openly copied him. His
rapid-footed dancing inspired Mick Jagger
and Michael Jackson among others. Songs
such as David Bowie's "Fame," Prince's
"Kiss," George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" and
Sly and the Family Stone's "Sing a Simple
Song" were clearly based on Brown's
rhythms and vocal style.
Brown
began his professional music career in
1953 and skyrocketed to fame in the late
1950s and early 1960s on the strength of
his thrilling live performances and a
string of smash hits. In spite of various
personal problems and setbacks, he
continued to score hits in every decade
through the 1980s. In the 1960s and 1970s
Brown was a presence in American political
affairs, noted especially for his activism
on behalf of African Americans and the
poor.
Brown was recognized by a plethora of
(mostly self-bestowed) titles, including
Soul Brother Number One, Mr. Dynamite, the
Hardest-Working Man in Show Business,
Minister of The New New Super Heavy Funk,
Mr. Please Please Please, The Boss, and
the best-known, the Godfather of Soul. He
was renowned for his shouting vocals,
feverish dancing and unique rhythmic
style.
