A friend of mine recently told me, “Leave it to James to die on Christmas.” That pretty much sums up the career of James Joseph Brown Jr. He came in with a bang, and went out in flying colors. A black Christmas if I ever saw one. Most people just limit Brown to just a Soul Music icon, little atten...
