maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted August 31, 2006 Re the 17 nr 1 hits and the rest ALL of the Beatles - even the dead ones - could lay claim to much more than the above. Their no.1 hits run into hundreds when you take every national chart into account, ditto the chart entries. Brown's 170 albums include many sub-standard apologies unofficially released. There are loads of big name artists similarly afflicted with bootleg problems. Brown's a living legend, mind, just putting the record a bit straighter all round. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted August 31, 2006 I posted a link on the things to do thread yesterday to Urban Dictionary.

Cerberus 302 Posted December 25, 2006 News just in on the BBC about the Godfather of Soul ... The question is, is this a Christmas Day death a la Charlie Chaplin? Not sure how long ago it happened, or what time difference applies. Seems like the 'hardest working man in showbusiness' never got to retire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xenon II 0 Posted December 25, 2006 It's true, and you can read more here Wasn't it prostate cancer that did for Bob Monkhouse? Bob Monkhouse is DEAD?! I didn't know that! Apparently James Brown is now too. There is a article on the BBC news site about it with a picture from 1992 and he looks old as hell even in that! Loads of great celebrities have been dropping off like flys over the last few weeks (must be the winter) it SUCKS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted December 26, 2006 Indeed - very sad news. It was such a shock. When I heard the news I could have cried. First Charlie Drake, now James Brown. I predict a major slide for my team on the DDP scoreboard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
