Bad news for Christmas.JAMES BROWN, one of the biggest soul singers, the inventor of funky, and an influence on any music with some kind of rhythm, from disco to rap, has died.
I'm a big fan of punk-funk (A Certain Ratio, Gang Of Four, Bush Tetras etc.) and I just know these bands wouldn't ever have existed without James Brown.
But the legend, while being remembered for his influence on decades of music, did his own great songs as well... masterpieces like Cold Sweat or Get Up Off That Thang.
