Oh boy.
I'm currently listening to Freefloater, by the Higher Intelligence Agency (nice electronica from a while ago).
Then I see this thread title. "No way - he's dead? What a coincidence!"
And then I read the article and I find out it's even more of a coincidence than I thought: it's someone else with the same name! (ok, the HIA guy is Bobby Bird and this is Bobby Byrd, but still)

but anyway. RIP
Well, that was a wonderful start to this thread!
I'd rather say:
I KNOW YOU HAD SOUL!!!!!
RIP

Without the involvement of the vocalist and arranger Bobby Byrd, the career of James Brown, Godfather of Soul and "the hardest working man in show business", might well not have happened at all. In 1952, it was Byrd who discovered the young Brown in a prison in Toccoa, Georgia, where he was serving time for burglary, and helped him get an early release.

He was smokin' hot when I saw him guesting with the JBs seven years ago. Rest in peace.
