Had the pleasure of catching JB live once. Great fun.

A legend in his own lifetime.

I Got You (I Feel Good) is one of my all time favourite songs.

I remember seeing a news interview of him saying nothing but 'I feel good!' and completely ignoring the interviewers questions.

He seemed a bit off his face.

I thought he was more Jazz than Soul?

Anyway, he inspired Leroy Thornhill (of Prodigy) and Michael Jackson so he had a profound influence on modern music.

Wasn't that song 'Papa's Got a Brand New Bag' one of his?

Family squabbles have kept the Godfather of Soul above ground in a gold casket since his death.

 James Brown may finally be buried (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/02/21/wbrown121.xml)
