My surprise, coupled with the holiday's activities, means I won't be able to write anything today or work on any podcasts, etc., but all of that will follow. The Godfather of Soul is dead; I'm sure that my blog - and all of my fellow bloggers' sites - will provide ample tribute over the next few weeks. In the meantime, here are links to not one, not two, but three awesome archived WFMU "Rhubarb Cake" shows featuring Brown and his productions on himself and others. We're talking a major dose (TWELVE HOURS) of JB (RealAudio required). The links are as follows:</DIV><BR /><A href="http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/1853" set="yes">Rhubarb Cake broadcast, 12/25/01</A> (SIX HOURS of JB and his funky people, ironically broadcast five years ago today)<BR /><A href="http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/6090">Rhubarb Cake broadcast, 12/24/02</A> (features THREE HOURS of JB productions)<BR /><DIV><A href="http://www.wfmu.org/Playlists/Douglas/dw.010104.html">Rhubarb Cake broadcast, 1/4/01</A> (features THREE HOURS of recordings from JB's People label)</DIV><BR /><DIV>Rest in peace, JB.</DIV><BR /><IMG src="http://stepfatherofsoul.com/jb.jpg" /><DIV></DIV> </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/64AB854B-7819-4AFE-AE38-7926E061005C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
