No one so defined style as the Godfather of Soul. From the pompadour to the omnipresent shades to the purple outfits, the Hardest Working Man in Show Business knew what it meant to be well-coiffed, well-dressed and well-accessorized.

Sure, he had his share of scandal. And, yes, he had his run-ins with the law (not the least of which was his O.J.-style interstate chase in 1988). But just as we can't expect Naomi Campbell to be a saint, neither should we expect James Brown to act like a nun.

In short, James Brown was a style icon, and he will be missed. To paraphrase a song of his, We don't know where you are now, James Brown ... but wherever it is, it's got to be funky.
