Damn, guys...James Brown, who is the "Godfather Of Soul" and a major influence to all funk, soul and rock musicians, sadly passed away today.He was truly one of the greatest musicians of all time and will continue to be one of the most, if not the most, significant musicians to everyone in (especially) all types/styles of funk and soul music.He died of heart failure on Christmas, though.Despite him dying on Christmas, he had so much soul and, because of that, his spirit and soul will continue to live on inside of all of us fans that listen to his music and can't help but dance to it.I'd like to name a few of my favorite tracks of his here and would encourage yall to share your kind words of James Brown here too.


1. There Was A Time.
2. Super Bad.
3. Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine.
4. Good Good Lovin'.
5. I'll Go Crazy.
6. Get On The Good Foot.
7. Funky President (People It's Bad).
8. Get Up Offa That Thing.
9. It's Too Funky In Here.
10. Living In America.

This thread title is both funny and distasteful. Good work.

The news in Aus had "I Feel Good" playing in the background as they announced it. Now that's tasteless.

I don't know why you'd call it tastless in any way.The title pays respect to one of his classic songs as well as a way to remember how great of an artist/person he was/is.I wrote that it was Super Bad because I felt that it was sad that he's gone.None of it is tastless (or meant to be that way) in any way, bud.

I believe the actual lyric is: "I've got soul, and I'm super bad"

Why is it distasteful?

It`s a play on one of his own song lyrics , that doesn`t make it a bad thing that kind of thing is done all the time when reporting the death of an artist.

So you are comparing someone using an artists song lyrics to express regret at their death to raping someone?
