107 JAMZ - Chuck Brown, ‘Godfather of Go-Go,’ Dead at 75, May 25, 2012

"Chuck Brown, the Washington, D.C.-area funk icon known as the ‘Godfather of Go-Go,’ has died. He passed away today (May 16) at the age of 75. He died at Johns Hopkins University hospital in Baltimore.
Brown’s manager Tom Goldfogle confirmed the news of his client’s death to The Washington Post. The musician had been hospitalized and treated for pneumonia in recent weeks.
While Brown’s name might not be instantly familiar to pop music fans, especially the younger generation, his hooks most certainly are. Brown’s most popular anthem was 1979′s ‘Bustin’ Loose,’ which was sampled by pop rapper Nelly on his massive summer hit, 2002′s ‘Hot in Herre.’"
