Farewell to the Godfather

The Godfather of Soul will be laid to rest this week.

But James Brown's indelible mark will live on.

In fact, Eddie Murphy's acclaimed portrayal of fictional R&B star James "Thunder" Early in the new movie "Dreamgirls" is based in part on Brown.

I remember a suitemate during our college days at Carolina who'd start his day (and ours) by blasting Brown's "Papa Don't Take No Mess" on his quadrophonic stereo (remember those?) every morning.

You couldn't help being annoyed. You also couldn't help tapping your feet.
