ATLANTA -- James Brown, the legendary singer known as the "Godfather of Soul," has died, his agent said early Monday. He was 73.

Brown was hospitalized Sunday at Emory Crawford Long Hospital with pneumonia and died around 1:45 a.m. Monday, said his agent, Frank Copsidas of Intrigue Music. Longtime friend Charles Bobbit was by his side, Copsidas said.

The agent said Brown's family was being notified of his death and that the cause was still uncertain. "We really don't know at this point what he died of," Copsidas said.

My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

There are very few musicians, singers, etc. who are out today that will be remembered and revered in forty years in the way that James Brown was and will always be. There are even less who will be looked at as having made the type of contributions he made to music- he changed it forever. Visionaries and true artists like that are very scarce today.
