James Brown’s getting so much press that I can’t really sort it out so I’ll let Ian do it since he’s got one of the best hip hop blogs to which I rarely link.

Also from Ian:
A Legend Remembered
James Brown: 1933-2006

From Beats and Rants 2.2:
Rest In Soul Power

From Fear Of A Brown Blogger:
REST IN POWER: GODFATHER OF SOUL

From the NY Times:
A Loud, Proud Send-Off for an Icon of Soul
Godfather of Soul, and C.E.O. of His Band
James Brown, the ‘Godfather of Soul,’ Dies at 73
