James Joseph Brown, Jr. - May 3, 1933…

Didn’t want this day to pass without making note of the fact that it is the birthday of the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. He would have been 74 years old today.

When he unexpectedly passed away on Christmas Day, 2006 there were, understandably, a large number of tributes posted online in remembrance of the man and his music. Here are links to some of them:
