The no1 soul brother..the godfather of soul, is dead.

He was a real legend and I saw him in his prime in the mid 70's, one of the best concerts I went to in a smallish Hall in Dunstable, and we all new we were watching a legend

Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner etc, all admit copied his dancing style in the 60's.

The first single I ever owned was 'It's a Man's Man's Man's World" which was released in 1966 and my sister gave me because she didn't like it.

RIP

the great man was a surprise guest when we went to see the red hot chili peppers couple of years ago at manchester city stadium,couldnt believe it and he was brill,a real showman...gone but not forgotten.
need more of his kind cos the constant drab thats around lately is nearly enough to turn people to rap!
yeah i did say nearly..thank god for the chili peppers!!!
