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,"

interview between Mr. Brown, and Pete Allman in
2004 at the House of Blues. CLICK

"Not only was he a prolific singer, songwriter,
bandleader, and record producer, Brown was a
seminal force in the evolution of gospel and rhythm
and blues into soul and funk," said Troy, "he left
his mark on numerous other musical genres,
including rock, jazz, reggae, disco, dance and
electronic music, afrobeat, and hip hop music."
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.

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.
