Brown was hospitalized Sunday at Emory Crawford Long Hospital with pneumonia and died around 1:45 a.m. Monday, said his agent, Frank Copsidas of Intrigue Music. Longtime friend Charles Bobbit was by his side, Copsidas said.

The agent said Brown's family was being notified of his death and that the cause was still uncertain. "We really don't know at this point what he died of," Copsidas said.

How ya doing, buddy?

Exactly what I was thinking. NOt a good Christmas present.

As funny as it is, I think back to WCW, when The Cat danced with him at one of their PPV's.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

A terrible and rather sudden loss for sure.

Will probably do some personal memorializing later with some mp3 playing.

Holy shit!!!

R.I.P. to a legend

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Being from South Carolina, this will probably headline papers for the next week.

Its weird. Hes an icon. We have a James Brown music festival every year for crying out loud. Its almost unbelievable that hes gone. Rest in peace.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wow... How surreal. He's one of those guys that seemed like they'd go on forever.

How ya doing, buddy?

Without him, there'd be no funk, there'd be no hip hop, there'd be a lot less cool rhythm nowadays. RIP

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That's such a shame, and of all days to pass away on...

R.I.P. James Brown; your legacy will live on through your music.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

RIP

This is going to be good for his biographies.

Now, we can finally break out the obvious song for this sad, sad event.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

RIP James Brown. "I feel good" was one of my mother's favorite songs. I didn't know him or his discography too well, but he'll surely be missed by millions of fans and dedicated listeners from his shining era. I can't imagine what his family is going through - for them to have someone die 1 am christmas day.

Hopefully people won't start wise cracks with the old L.A. Street song too so-

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

KCJ506 · Dec 25, 2006, 07:27 AM

Wow...this is just...wow.

RIP James. You made amazing music.

Even with my limited exposure to the man.... dang.

A sad christmas present indeed.

FELIPE NO

Arainach · Dec 25, 2006, 09:45 AM

And just the other day he was yelling "I Feel Good!"

RIP.

I feel bad that he died, but the guy did go kinda nuts. Wasn't he the one who beat up his wife a few times and got that ugly mugshut a few years back?

I woke finding the unpleasant news and was immediately saddened. The world has lost another great musical pioneer. RIP James.

JackTheRipper · Dec 25, 2006, 09:21 PM

What a shame. And to die on Christmas of

all days.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Dojomaster · Dec 25, 2006, 09:32 PM

R.I.P Mr Brown aka the original "Sex Machine."

The man may be dead, but his music will live on forever!

How ya doing, buddy?

Drex · Local time: Dec 25, 2006, 09:12 PM

Oh man, that's sad. I saw the news post earlier where he was hospitalized, but I hadn't yet heard that he'd passed away. Rest in peace indeed.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

My brother told me this morning, not a good way to start Christmas really.

RIP James Brown.
