😵 In my eyes, this is when he got really big.

"I'm gonna say I feel good, papa's got a brand new bag, it's a man's world."
James Brown

LOL 😵

And of course, music and performance wise this man was a pure genius:

what a shame he had to go so relatively young. so glad i caught his recent bbc electric proms gig at the london roundhouse, (perhaps his last gig?). he was great and even did some funky dancing which was greatly appreciated by everyone. i know the bbc filmed it for posterity, may be able to see some of it on the bbc website, electric proms etc etc.

He was an innovator as well as a great entertainer. He is credited for being one of the fist solo artists that got down on the first and third beat.

His influence is amazing.

He changed the face of soul music with his innovative recordings and brought a vibrancy and excitement to his singing and performances that has seldom been equalled. His songs sound as amazing now as they did the day when they were recorded.

totally agree
