RIP Chuck Brown. Godfather of Go-Go.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Brown in Maryland during the making of my first album. I was collaborating with the great Chucky Thompson at the time who was very close friends with the Godfather. Every so often he would come by the studio and offer positive words of encouragement and always a big smile. He was a powerful and compelling person with an epic life. The music lives on.
