The season for giving took one of rock/funk/r&b/soul's most influential and legendary figures Xmas morning, as The Hardest Working Man In Show Business was forced into retirement after 73 years of gettin' on the good foot, gettin' brand new bags, and gettin' loopy on national television. Brown's passing leaves a hole in the hearts of a legion of fans, and by Rev. Al Sharpton's word, is the loss not of an artist, but of "a way of life."

@littlenaitch2 I agree with you .. I find it ''hypocitical'' that some one with a name like ''porn1978'' has the nerve to call anyone a pice of shit .. let alone a man who did alot of great things for black n white .. an mankind in general ... besides the fact he made an continues to make billions of people ''feel good'' ... James got lost in drugs for A while in the 80s .. but fundementally he was an died a good man

4:11 they won't even show that cute young picture of james brown with the short hair cut clearly, they let it fade away because they don't want us to see how handsome he was as a young man.

One thing I don't like about this vid is that they put the not so good looking blacks in it to make like blacks are not beautiful. Won't they put diana ross, tupac shakur, anglea basset, jennifer hudson,Eve Jihan Jeffers, Romeo "Ro" Miller, shawn stockmon, whitney huston, Shawn Mathis Wayans, keisha knight pulliam, michael vick, Iman, etc. and many other non-famous beautiful blacks in vid.When it comes to whites they make sure they find the best looking ones they can kind to make them look good.
