Remembering a legend
Happy Birthday chuck brown
Chuck Brown (August 22, 1936 – May 16, 2012) is a music legend that took the spirit and culture of DC across the world. The creator Go-Go music, a hypnotically danceable genre deeply rooted in funk and soul, Brown pioneered a form of expressive culture that represented the artistic, unapologetic soul of DC.
Foreshadowing rap and many of the major popular R&B styles of the past three decades, Chuck's signature style earned him a place in American musical royalty. In honor of his legacy, the DC Department of Parks and Recreation celebrates Chuck Brown Day annually on his birthday weekend.
