                              JAMES BROWN

  Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize one of our 
Nation's best known personalities, the Godfather of Soul--James Brown.
  When describing the career of Mr. Brown, one must use words such as 
``prolific'' and ``enduring.'' From the streets of his historic 
hometown, the garden city of Augusta, GA, Mr. Brown has spoken to 
people of all generations, races, and nationalities through his unique 
music. There are few people in the world who do not know who the 
``hardest working man in show business'' is, or who could not sing a 
few lines of their favorite James Brown song, when asked to do so.
  Mr. President, James Brown is truly an international figure and an 
Ambassador of Good Will.
