Everyone who ever met Mr Brown in person (funny how naturally it came calling him just that), could not help notice how full of, well, James Brown, the Godfather was. And with that came certain, eh, peculiarities.
For anyone interested in latter day JB, author Jonathan Lethem wrote a good and lengthy piece in Rolling Stone back in 2006: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10533775/cover_story_being_james_brown

No problem coming late to the JB party, as Letham himself acknowledges. Better late than never. To paraphrase P-Funk: ain't no party like a JB party, 'cause a JB party don't stop!
I imagine JB still on the good foot, wherever funky place he might be.....

Still. I'm making up for it now. Never let it be said you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
