James Brown Is Dead

The reviews are wrong. The only song on this CD is about a goofed announcement on TV that James Brown was dead. Check out the lyrics before panning the song.

Sometimes it feels like I'll never get tired of this song and the remixes of it, although I never really liked that Scooter ripped it off and named it "Call Me Manana". >:\
I believe that "James Brown Is Dead" is about the music that Brown makes is dead, not him as a person.

My cousin told me about this song. I absolutely love it and was lucky enough to find the full CD it came from. Although the tracks on this single reflect the same song, they each have their own spin and deserve your attention. I couldn't find this CD and had to get it [online], you should buy this here while you're lucky enough to find it.

It's back! I can't believe it. I bought this single in 1992 on CASSETTE! (Remember- "Cassingles"?) Of course, it being on tape it wore out in like a year but, then so did this song! Now, almost 10 years later I find it's back!! This classic is a MUST HAVE for anyone that went to old skool raves back in the day. In Philadelphia, I went to a rave and it was the first time I heard this song. (1991) It was also my first time hearing classics like PRODIGY'S "Out Of Space", SMART E's "Seseme's Treet", BIZZARE INC. "Playing With Knives, and don't forget OPOTHEOSIS "O'Fortuna"!! It'll "take your brain to another dimension"! Also, look for other ARISTA RECORDS RE-releases like, SNAP's "The Power" and ROBERT MILES' "Children" which were also OUT OF PRINT until now!!! I truly hope other lables will start RE-releasing older, hard to find stuff. ESPECIALLY OLD SINGLES! (HINT! HINT!) over and out.....
