The hardest working man in show business is resting

JAMES BROWN'S LONGTIME CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY, DEBRA OPRI, issues the following statement:

"It is with great sadness and sorrow that the world lost a legend and pioneer of the music world. James Brown was known to all as 'The Godfather of Soul.' I knew him as a very good, kind, and religious man, so how befitting it is that he passed on the day Christ was born."
