Copsidas said Brown's family was being notified of his death and that the cause was still uncertain. "We really don't know at this point what he died of," he said.

Rest In Peace, Godfather of Soul...You will be missed dearly...

Papa's got a Brand New Body Bag.

Hahaha, Thanks for the humor.
A little something to remember him by.

This was a shock, this is also something that you won't hear on an "events of 2006 TV special", as everyone has theirs played already.

You know it's weird because when I was opening presents this morning the Dolemite DVD I bought my mother briefly reminded me of James Brown and I thought to myself, "Is James Brown dead? Oh, no, he was arrested but not dead."

Seems I was wrong.

Damn. James Brown was one jive turkey.

We'll miss you James Brown.

L.A. Style may have jumped the gun 15 years, but now the song is justified...

James Brown is Dead.

In tribute, I'm doing a 24-hour Soul-a-thon playing nothing but J.B.
