Legendary singer James Brown dies at 73

ATLANTA - {AP} - James Brown, the dynamic, pompadoured "Godfather of Soul," whose rasping vocals and revolutionary rhythms made him a founder of rap, funk and disco as well, died early Monday, his agent said. He was 73.

Brown was hospitalized with pneumonia at Emory Crawford Long Hospital {here in Atlanta} on Sunday and died around 1:45 a.m. Monday, said his agent, Frank Copsidas of Intrigue Music. Longtime friend Charles Bobbit was by his side, he said.

Copsidas said the cause of death was uncertain. "We really don't know at this point what he died of," he said.

RIP . . . I have never heard a live recording with as much power as his Live At The Apollo show. A craftsman at the peak of art, that audience was putty in his hands.

The world is a little less funky now, and we're all poorer for it. JB was a true titan.

Birmingham Odeon, 1981. Touched the great man's hand as he strutted across the front of the stage. As legends advance in years, their passing becomes more inevitable, but it's still heartbreaking.

So long, Soul Brother.
