Mr. Dynamite
Mr Please, Please, Please
The Godfather of Soul
The Hardest Working Man in Show Business
Soul Brother Number One
Allowed me to be unashamed of my Blackness
I didn’t even care that he had a process
Mr Brown turned me on to the rock in the roll
I learned to love the blues and the rhythm of my soul
He was the One and he was the Only
The world already feels a little more lonely
He told Santa to go straight to the ghetto
He flew around in his own private jetto
His band was so hot he called them the Flames
He had a thousand hits, to go with all of his names
We all said it proud, “I’m Black!” real loud
They bloodied his head but he remained unbowed
We all got the feelin’ and we danced all nite
Never out of mind, always out of sight
We will never get enuff
Of your sweet funky stuff
You are the original Mr Funk-intellecky
And we will celebrate you forever
With our soul and funk-a-tears.
