James Brown dead and my views on him
December 28th 2006 06:59
It isn't especially new, but I have been reflecting on the death of James Brown.
I am not sad - I don't feel any personal connection to the man, but I respected his early career. He was pretty mental later on for however many reasons, and he wasn't young, but I really do like some of his songs.
One of my most prized 45s or singles (depending on the term you prefer) is Papa's Got a Brand New Bag. It is a top song and I am glad I have a copy of such a good song.
He was the self-proclaimed Godfather of Soul, but why not. There are plenty better, but he probably fitted the Godfather role. In my eyes, that quasi role that is simply sentimental.
I did like him though. Top man for the dancing tune.
