RIP Chuck Brown-- God Father of Go-Go gone

[drjdoc26]

Chuck Brown, the gravelly voiced bandleader who capitalized on funk’s percussive pulse to create go-go, the genre of music that has soundtracked life in black Washington for more than three decades, died May 16 at the Johns Hopkins University hospital in Baltimore. He was 75.

The death was confirmed by his manager Tom Goldfogle. The Washington Post reported earlier this month that Mr. Brown had been hospitalized for pneumonia.

Busting Loose is one of his most famous songs. More importantly, I used the reference to imply he is finally going to heaven (if you believe that sorta thing). Maybe its because I grew up in black churches but usually when someone dies, especially at his age, its more of a celebration than a somber event. Relax folks. It kills me how some of you pick and choose when to be PC on here tho

Not a go-go fan, but he was a musical legend in the area.


RIP to a soulful man.

Yeah no doubt. I have nothing but the utmost respect for him and lots of other soul artists from his era. Shade would never be thrown by me in an instance like this.

Son...how the HECK am I supposed to know where you're from?

The way you were offended by my comment led me to believe you didn't get the reference but I guess I threw it in just to explain my previous comment in general.

Skateboard P and Pimp Juice knew what was up:
