James Brown . . . Rest In Peace.

This shot is from May 11, 2005, as James exited B.B. King's Blues Nightclub in New York City after the second of two shows that night. As with most of these encounters . . . it was just luck . . . we were in the right place at the right time. We were there less than a minutes when the front doors of the club swung open and out he came. He wasn't going to stop, but we mentioned that we were from the St. Louis area . . . home to Chuck Berry. That brought a smile to his face and got him to stop long enough for a quick photograph before he hopped in his stretch limo and departed.
