James Brown 1933-2006
Lost Someone, from Live at the Apollo, Volume 1, recorded October 1962 — one of the most extraordinary live recordings ever made (available for a limited time for review purposes, yada yada, all that stuff). Sleep well, James.
There’s a really excellent overview of the man’s career and incalculable influence over at Funky16Corners
UPDATE and another touching eulogy at Soul Sides, as I knew there would be.
