    Just stating the known facts but James Brown was an innovator of dance, rythym, music, a fantastic drummer and organist, and what a voice, he even invented funk, he was a unique one off genius and you can't blame other artists that follow for trying to copy him, I think that happens with every art, then maybe one day the copyer shows up with their own style, but it's not everyone that can be an inventor.
    I'm an old guy who lives in Scotland, and I'm still listening to James Brown for inspiration, humanity, and beauty of the human spirit, the coolest singer and musician ever, we'll probably never see his likes again, in my humble opinion.

      @@SimplyTamanisha Bruno is great. Loved him since he first came on the scene. Still, there's nobody, not even Bruno, who has the talent, skills, moves, class or aura that these guys have. It's not Bruno's fault, it's just the culture today doesn't require or request performers to be on that level any more. Especially the aura. Performers had a certain air of class and dignity then that is lost today. Sure, we know that sometimes in their private lives they were messy, but when they were in public and performing, they were all class. Not so today.
