The man was the epitome of Black Pride.  He encouraged us to take a stand and do it for ourselves.  He calmed a nation when Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated, he thrilled the world with his supreme showmanship that has been copied by many since (Michael, Prince, Usher), he gave music to those not talented enough to come up with their own and made it sound good.  There would be no Rap/Hip Hop without Soul Brother #1.......The Hardest Working Man In Show Business.......Mr Please Please Please.......the one........the only......The GODFATHER OF SOUL.......Mr Jaaaaaaaammmmmes Brown!!!  Rest in Peace my Brother.  Thank you for blessing us with your greatness.
