Derrick Monk performs

Posted by Chronicle Newsroom on December 30, 2006 - 3:12 PM

INSIDE JAMES BROWN ARENA -- Derrick Monk is performing "God Has Smiled on Me," with an improvisation from James Brown's "I Got You (I Feel Good)" at Mr. Brown's "homegoing celebration."

-- Johnny Edwards.

I really admired Mr. James Brown, the Godfather of Soul. Mr. Brown did more than just perform, he helped weave the Black social fabric with his social messages. There is something else about him that I never hear mentioned. Mr. Brown had such control over his legs and feet when he danced and moved across the stage. No disrespect to other performers that immulated his style, but I haven't seen anyone exact that kind of precision in their dance moves. I loved his music and I loved him. I, alone with other James Brown fans, will truly miss the Godfather of Soul, because, he truly was the "Hardest Working Man in show Business".
