Godfather of Soul James Brown has died.
Brown died at 1.45am at Emory Crawford Long Hospital in Atlanta after being admitted there over the weekend for treatment of severe pneumonia, his agent, Frank Copsidas, said.
The singer, also known as Mr Dynamite, is credited with bringing the word "funk." Brown's hit Say it Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)
into mainstream musical vernacular and influencing a new generation of black music that spawned rap and hip-hop.
