No way! I've spun a many of his hits, and true to what you have said, "He always put so much effort into every song and inspired many".

Thanks for the news.

Good Gawd!

He was one of a kind. I wish I had that kind of energy. And he always had the best funk drummers.

Well, that kind of energy was also partly chemically enhanced and aside from being a wife beater, he is a musical legend, but, the way it sounds, like many icons, was a kinda scummy person.

An icon in his genre, but not a genre I really even got into personally. Not trying to kick a man when he's down, or offend the great many fans of his...even though it would appear so.

Yep, I will miss his funk for sure. And he died of something other then chemical abuse which is what I thought he would pass from. But indeed, I have twisted many a JB sample in my day.

His energy and verve will be missed. He had a great amount of influence on many, many artists.

RIP
