a truly sad ending to 2006.

R.I.P. James Brown

**aKido** (2006-12-25):

thanks for the grooves mr brown :)

**moyashi** (2006-12-25):

Calling that band a 'well-oiled machine' would be a gross understatement. Holy shit, that was the real fucking deal.

**TheLowEnd** (2006-12-26):

indeed a sad loss. but that clip: nice. were my eyes deceiving me or were there 2 bass players?

**moyashi** (2006-12-26):

As a fellow fat-stringer, I noticed that too. The man on the back left was clearly the big gun, not sure what the other chap was up to...but I only heard it once, and obviously Mr. James Brown rightfully claims the majority of one's attention...

**puffer** (2006-12-26):

Cheers.

How about this? That groove is so badass it needs two players to hold it down.

Idolator found a great clip from the T.A.M.I Show:

Full-on Hardest Working Man in Showbiz mode. And that band just holds it down without flinching.

I'll miss him. I liked his opening to Rocky 3.

Was I the only one who thought of the "James Brown is Dead" song? I tried to describe it to a few people who had no idea what I was talking about.

**Chris Randall** (2006-12-27):

I have a good idea of what you're talking about, because the gold record hanging on my wall is for exactly that track.

Well, where's the rush-release 2006 remix?

Oh, too late. Ford died.

(Christ I'm an insensitive bastard...) ;)

"I liked his opening to Rocky 3."
It was actually Rocky 4 ;)
