the pioneer of soul music...he was the best..

from MSNBC...

"His “Live at The Apollo” in 1962 is widely considered one of the greatest concert records ever. And he often talked of the 1964 concert in which organizers made the mistake of having the Rolling Stones, not him, close the bill. He would remember a terrified Mick Jagger waiting offstage, chain smoking, as Brown pulled off his matchless show."

I was wondering myself, how long it would take before someone would bash him.
It never fails, when someone dies, there is always that one person \ persons who will bash.
