Happy B'day to The Godfather of Soul



All these "True Funk Soldiers" and not a mention of the Godfather's birthday? disbelief

Godfather of Soul or not, he's a piece of garbage.

If born on May 3, 1933 that would make him 72.

Ya'll, if you haven't seen this video,,SHAME ON YA!



Special treat ya'll,,,I really enjoyed the Ed Sullivan show's pre4mance of "I Feel Good" dancing jig

It includes interviews with ALL of his ex-female BG, Bobby Byrd, his manager, Little Richard, Chuck D, Fred Wisley and them.

My only beef with it, is they seem somewhat secretive about him(like they're still under control).

But their love for him was obevious, none the less!

I truely suggest ya'll 2 pick it up.

So how many years was your personal association with him and what led you to this conclusion?

Just curious.

On the radio it was announced as either he's 72, 73, or 74 years old. I thought he was older than that. I'm playing his 20 All Time Greatest Hits right now. Is he the most or 2nd most sampled artist in music?

Don't know.
Everyone deserves a shot to qualify their position though.

Happy Birthday Mister Dynamite, hardest working man in show business, soul brother number 1, king of soul, godfather of soul, minister of the super new new heavy funk and whatever other illustrious epithets you have to your name. Oh how I wish I'd been alive to see this man in his prime, or had the time and money and knowledge of his touring schedule to see him now bawl
