The "Godfather of Soul" died on Christmas Day and he died in Augusta, Georgia, right across the river from where I went to high school. For me his most famous song was "I Feel Good" and I can't help but get a big smile on my face when I hear that song. that song actually does make me feel good and his sincerity just comes right through. James Brown wrote a lot of songs that mean a lot to many people. I can't say that most of it was my cup of tea but I certainly respect the man as a very creative musician who had many barriers to break down in order to acheive the success he did acheive. Long live James Brown!!
