Crooner Pat Boone has released a statement following the death of his good friend James Brown.
Boone said "My friend James Brown was a comet, blazing across the night sky for 50 years. Thankfully, we can still enjoy the brilliance long after the star burns out. I'll forever treasure the private time we shared in Augusta when we recorded one of his classics together; he was deeper and more spiritual than many realized. I'm looking forward to our next meeting."Brown featured on the recent Boone album 'Pat Boone R&B Classics - We Are Family'. Boone and Brown recorded a new version of Brown's soul classic 'Papa's Got A Brand New Bag'.
Brown referred to Boone as Soul Brotha No. 2.
