"The Godfather of soul" passes away.

James Brown, known as "the Godfather of soul" to many, many millions of fans here and around the world, has passed away at the age of 73 on Christmas day. The real cause of death is unknown, though he was admitted into the hospital on the day before he passed away for pneumonia. "Black and proud" to the end, James Brown loved "living in America" (even though "it's a man's world" out there) where "he feels good" that he's "got a brand new bag". We wish him God's speed and comfort for his family. As for his fans, I'm sure "the Godfather of soul" would want them to "please, please, please" not be sorrowful.
