..just to let u know that leading french newspaper Libération of yesterday dedicated its full front page to JB: a wonderful, full page picture of JB on stage from 1974 (with the moustache). The picture looks like JB just got hit by a bullet and is bending over with pain on his face. The headline reads in large caracters: "Ex-Machine", and in smaller ones simply: "James Brown, 1933-2006". Inside story runs for 4 pages, and basically said JB is the most important influence of the last 50 years in popular music. Le Monde (French intellectual Daily of reference) also gave JB half its front page
