Having seen many a JB clip, I really appreciate the posting of such a rare & beautifull jewel. " who would u be w/o JB?!" "what would music Be w/o JB?!" "what would civil rights be w/o JB!" Their would be no Prince, No MJ, No, HIP-HOP, NO Fela, NO Cameo, no Bootsy, no WAR, no RIck JAmes,no mick jagger, no elvis, no sly, No d'angelo, no nuthin!!! MUSIC WOULD NOT BE WHAT IT IS TODAY HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR JB. "absolutly nuthin'"- JB the innovator, the master, the pioneer, the finisher, "mr. Dynomite"- The Godfather. Wish i could be ther to send you off, but know I'm servin ya well right where I T.I.S Black folks and the world of music wouldn't be the same w/o ya. Truly a great loss of another MASTER. May God be well pleased. "SOULPOWAH!/ Got to have it/ SOULPOWAH!! we need it!..." "NY getcha self TOGETHA! drive that FUNKY soul!" " I wanna be the GOVENAH!"-JB

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie_in_state But don't blame Jen Carlson, she was just quoting NY1 (who apparently doesn't know either). Guess they don't have checkers at NY1.

Lie in State? I think you mean Lie in Repose. You'd have to be in the Federal or State Capitol to "Lie in State".

NY1 is wrong about James Brown making his debut at the Apollo. He recorded his great live album there in 1962. He had been touring and recording for many years by that time.
