Yes, the Godfather of Soul will be missed by many (I wonder who, besides Al Sharpton and Donald Trump, inherits the hair).

As for Jerry Ford, a very decent guy who served at a very difficult time(while the US was still reeling from Watergate and the Vietnam War) and who had a long history of bi-partisanship without a hint of scandal. Both sides of the aisle thought him a very honest guy. The only objection anyone had against him was his gift to Tricky Dick (which, if you'll pardon the pun, was a hard one for many to swallow) although the pardon was probably in the country's best interest.

Too young to really know either of these people. I know a few James Brown songs but nothing about his life. I know even less about Ford. What's the best biography on Ford?
