I was born and raised in Washington, D.C..I went into the Marine Corps in 1986 and traveled the world for 8 years. Where ever I went I took go-go music. It was like taking D.C. with me wherever I went. I'm 55 years old now and STILL ROCK GO-GO MUSIC. GO-GO MUSIC FOREVER. MUCH LOVE TO CHUCK.

I’m over here in this tiny ass town in Germany. Listening to this is bittersweet. I’m actually missing Georgia Avenue. Oh my goodness. RIP 😢

Brings back amazing memories. I was a 17yr old italian kid from Socal stationed in Korea in the IS Army in 1984 living with the bruthas. They turned me on to Gogo sound, Mr Brown and Trouble Funk. Been a fan ever since. I'll never forget these guys going out getting custom made wind suits with "Happy Feet" on the back and long live DC. Almost bought one myself lol! Great stuff, can't sit down when listening to these gems.

I remember when I moved from Cali to DC in 1994... this was the first GO-GO song I heard "Don't mean a thing! " (2nd was the water dance).... lost my mind!!! 2019 still in DC and still have not found my mind it's lost in GO-GO!

The Legendary Chuck Brown is honestly one of my favorite artists of all time. I will never get tired of his music. Rest In Power to Mr. Brown & much love to The Soul Searchers.

Chuck and his group gave NPR Tiny Desk and the people who were in attendance that day, almost 30 minutes of pure hard work, brilliance, and go-go groove, while most of the performances on NPR rarely go beyond 15. Yes Chuck!

"The name Chuck Brown might not mean a thing, if you ain't got that GOGO swing..."

Chuck was and will always b ahead of his time.. He smacked the world in the face w/this sound and it was so funky that the majority of the world either didn't kno how to embrace it or they were jus plain afraid to. Chuck is a legend and like it or not he deserves his plc. in the R&R HOF.. The man created a whole other genre of music and he should be properly and rightfully recognized for it.. U never miss a good thing until it's gone.. Maybe ppl. outside of the DMV who didn't pay much attn. to his music can and will appreciate his sound, his voice and his genius in the music he left w/ us to enjoy and party to in his absence.. DC STAND UP.. He gave us our own sound and staked a small claim in musical history.. I pay homage to the man and remember him by yellin, "WHIND ME UP CHUCK!" every time I hear him comin outta the speakers.. Thank u Chuck.. For bein the FIRST musician/entertainer to give DC a voice and an identity... LONG LIVE THE GODFATHER!!

Here for DC making Go-Go the official music of the district

He was such a staple and so influential in the DMV( Washington ,Maryland and Virginia ) that you could feel the loss for weeks when he passed . 🙏

This was the best TD ever....and I've been to many. We danced at this one.

Wind me up Chuck!! RIP. Chuck had a nationwide hit with "Bustin' Loose" and though I wish he was more known, I'm for one, glad and grateful for his music in this world.

I call him..The Groove Master. Hope you are still in The Groove...wherever you may be. The SOUL is eternal. God Bless you Chuck Brown. A fan.

Chuck B's goGo beat and his bustin loose funky groove will always be an eternal sound. Glad I lived in D.C. when his sound first permeated the clubs, the parks and the D.C. airwaves. R.I P. Live In goGo Paradise ...Hey At Hey At ...

I was privileged to see Chuck in the late 1980s in London. I love my jazz, soul, blues and y'all. Charles Louis Brown is the man. God bless Chuck

I lost my mind when they did bustin loose!!!! Yaaaasss darling, Mr Brown took me all the way back to the days when I was young and free.

Happy Chuck Brown Day !!! ‘23 🩵🏛️

Baba Chuck we will always love you! One of a kind! You are a treasure!

There was NOTHING like seeing Chuck LIVE in concert. I saw him live at least 3 times a year for over 20 YEARS and everytime I saw it was better than the last.

Chuck Brown is underrated as guitar.player listen those chords very harmonically rich..Great playing..A Master

Wind me up Chuck! Brings back favorite memories of living in Adams Morgan and walking over for his shows on Wednesday nights - think it was at Kilimanjaro. Long time ago! RIP

A grove so thick I'm not sure that its legal.

Thank you for EVERYTHING Chuck. I love you and will miss you! Wishing you Peace in Rest from New York City to the Afterlife

Amazing! Thanks Chuck & crew. What a voice and what a beat! And thanks NPR. I am a huge fan of both. I happened to live in DC for a few years in the 90's, but I knew Chuck Brown's music from many, many years prior. I was born in the south in the 60's and am one of the fortunate few from my generation and location that was blessed to live in both black and white communities. Go Go Chuck. You the man. Long live the Blues, Soul, Jazz, Funk, Go Go and Chuck Brown. I love you brother.

Some of the BEST music on the PLANET!!!!! My GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paying respects to the KING. RIP.

DC Represent! We love you Chuck!

What else is there to say. Chuck Brown was/is a legend! He was incredible. His sound is unmatched and will be for some time. RIP Sir. All respect due.

Chuck cranked to his last days! He is the James Brown of GoGo, hardest working man that never gave a bad show. RIP Chuck, thanks for making a young teen's weekends special in DC back in the day. We cranked all night.

RIP Chuck...you were fabulous.

Chuck brown. A homegrown staple. RIP. I'm sitting here smiling during a pandemic. To don't mean a thing if you don't have that gogo swing. Bopping to that lovely drum beat. Yess he is a legend for the people.

Nice, missing your music Chuck Brown.....Chuck Brown fan 4 life!

A classic, Chuck Brown, go-go will never be same! R.I.P.!!!

This is amazing that you got Chuck & OGs of go-gi before he departed. RIP to him. He put go-go on the map!!! The goat of DC!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Chuck Baby is one of the baddest funk inspired jams I have ever heard. The Go-Go influence gives it such a unique flavor!

Always and Forever!! R.I.P Chuck

GoGo Swing is my favorite Chuck song. I love it!

Still missin Chuck Baby in 2019

D.C. classic! Hail to Chuck Brown the Godfather of Go-Go

Great Show. Good Times. Rip Uncle Chuck!

I'm from NYC and have been a huge gogo fan since 2013, Chuck was one of the first artists I heard. Thank you Chuck, thank you DC, for the wonderful music.

Imagine feeling the need to give this video a thumbs down. Just imagine that for a sec. Glad I'm not feeling that bad. I dare anyone to sit still watching this.... anyone. RIP, Chuck!

Rest in Peace Chuck! "We love you so much". DC or Nothing!!

Bringing lots of tears to my eyes.

Chuck had that smooth go go sound, keep it going *

who could dislike the Godfather of Go-Go?!

I'm about to get off work here in Birmingham, AL grooving this video. Love Chuck Brown down here in the South. #MyGymSongs....nothing better.

A true musician!

Thanks for this post. Go-Go is Chuck Brown. I remember Chuck Brown & The Soul Stirrers from back in the days.

Mr Ralph IAM with you I grew up listening to him and I met him more than once and he always told me he was the god father of Washington DC go go and I believe him until this day January 1 2020 him in his music still lives with me

Chuck was a true pioneer, and a true band leader.

I so love Chuck gonna miss go to his shows there aint no party like a Chuck Brown party

You know how true masters become posthumously famous? Chuck Brown will be one such master and the whole world will one day be familiar with his music like Mozart today.

Great concert! And that singer is a total fox! One of of fave tiny npr concerts..and Chuck was pretty good at guitar! He could really play!

Love the Go Go swing, someone needs to pick up that torch! R I H P Chuck Brown!

A Legend Godfather of GoGo jammin on Memorial Day 2020

We love U Chuck R.I.P Babe !!!!!

Pretty cute for a dude old enough to be my very old dad. RIP Chuck. I hate that I never saw you in person

Hey, it's Brad Clements on trumpet. We went to high school together. I last saw him at Nicki Gonzalez's "Spilt Milk" album release party. Hey, Brad.

I still marvel at Chuck's stamina, drive, and flat-out kickass authority. I once Chuck perform a free show in NYC, in 2009. On an overcast, cool, rainy evening, he made us all dance up into a sweat. The man had chops and sly humor, with more power, more energy than most of those a quarter of his age. Chuck may belong to DC, but we understood him in my hometown too. Keep the Go-Go going with the heavenly choir, CJ.

..,and they’re trying to take Go-Go out of DC? Come on Chuck with the Latin flavor (wind me up Chuck). CRANKIN’
