James Brown - RIP

 

This is so sad. He is he King of soul. He will be missed.

 

This is sad for many of us old timers who really knew who he was,

There is no one that put on a show like James, to watch him dance, putting on and throwing off the cape was a site that will never leave me,

He was a one of a kind and a real showman.

 

Sleep well James, you will be missed.

 

The other day I was driving my stang near the Apollo Theater.
The mass of people trying to view the body was enormous.
Driving into the city was a headache...... as it always is............Aghhhhhh

He will be missed!

 

 

+1 I was in NYC for New Years. Crazy crowds up there by the Apollo. Crazy weekend in general.

RIP

 

Long live the God Father.
