#3 Pioneering musician, but not a very nice human. It's going to be warm where he's headed.

#7 I FEEL GOOD
James Brown

Whoa-oa-oa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now
I feel good, I knew that I would, now
So good, so good, I got you

Whoa! I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you

{ sax, two licks to bridge }

When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can't do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love won't do you no harm

and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you

{ sax, two licks to bridge }

When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can't do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love can't do me no harm

and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, well I got you

Whoa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now
I feel good, I knew that I would
So good, so good, 'cause I got you
So good, so good, 'cause I got you
So good, so good, 'cause I got you

RIP James

#9 Goodbye James.

This proves there is no God. James is dead, and Little Richard is still making commercials.

#10 At least he had a long life.

Pappa's got a brand new bag.

#11 The best part of his obit:

"He was an outspoken supporter of Richard M. Nixon."

#12 When I was in law school, our law school paper used to run an April Fools' page every year. The best gag we ever had was a mock announcement of a constitutional law symposium called "The Jurisprudence of James Brown," featuring a paper entitled "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag, But Can It be Searched? a Survey of Fourth Amendment Jurisprudence Under the Rhenquist Court."

(Wish I could claim authorship on that one, but it was one of my classmates.)

Rest in peace, Godfather of Soul.
