JAMES BROWN also known as “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business“,
“The Godfather of Soul”, “Mr. Dynamite”, and “Soul Brother No. 1″ was born on
May 3, 1933 in Barnwell, South Carolina.

Happy 90 to a unique, most flamboyant and histrionic artist, and a swirling
sweaty showman, but unfortunately he also was an inflammbale person who
got arrested and did time for theft and domestic violence.

Brown recorded/released no less than 59 albums and countless singles.
He was a mega once-in-a-lifetime soul/funk star who passed away on
Christmas Day in 2006, aged 73.

Three great Brown moments.
