We grew up on James Brown's Hit me! When he danced every young black man wanted to move, groove and look like him. Mr. Brown wasn't called the hardest working man in show business for nothing. Experiencing a James Brown show was like getting your favorite soul food twice, plus desert. His songs, are like black power fists you could be proud of and move to at the same time. When Mr. Brown sang make it funky, we sweated even in the wintertime. Losing him was like losing somebody in our family. This is a shout out for poems about the impact James Brown had on our lives. Poems that will help people remember, honor, and celebrate his legacy. Don't be left in a cold sweat, send us your old and new James Brown poems today.
