This saddens us beyond belief. Goodnight Chuck. A DC music legend has parseed away at the age of 75, Johns Hopkins Hospital confirmed Wednesday afternoon. The Godfather of Go-Go Chuck Brown had been hospitalized for several weeks. His daughter KK Brown told The Washington Post he had pneumonia. Brown postponed a performance at the new Howard Theatre in late April due to illness, although no reason was given at the time for the hospitalization. Earlier this month, rumors of Brown's death circulated on Twitter. A bandleader, singer and guitarist, Brown was one of the rare go-go artists to gain national attention. Leading the Soul Searchers in the 1970s, Brown was fundamental in the creation of go-go music. He hit No. 1 on the R&B charts with “Bustin' Loose” in 1978 and had another hit with “We Need Some Money (Bout Money)” in 1984. Brown received his first Grammy nomination in 2010 for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals for “Love,” featuring Jill Scott and Marcus Miller, from the album “We Got This.” Brown's career began in the early 1960s, playing for bands like Los Latinos.
