RIP DC Legend: Chuck Brown (Nationals Edition)

DC Sports Nexus ---- Wednesday, May 16, 2012

According to the Washington City Paper, A Washington D.C. music legend, Chuck Brown, has died at age 75 after being in the hospital with pneumonia.  The Godfather of Go-Go was known was not known by all due to his niche style of go-go music, but most people could probably begin to sing along with his most mainstream hit Bustin' Loose.  Chuck Brown put on a show that could be enjoyed by all types of people of all different generations and he will be missed.
==================================================

Back in 2008, the first season the Washington Nationals played in Nats Park, the team held a fan vote to see which song would be played after the first Nats player hit a homerun during every game.  The #1 vote-getter and winner was Chuck Brown's song "Bustin' Loose"

Well the first ever homerun at Nats Park turned out to be Ryan Zimmerman's walk-off, and so Chuck Brown's homerun song was shoved aside by the victory song, U2-Beautiful day.  Sad.  It probably ended up happening for the 1st time after a Christian Guzman HR.  Sad again.

So in honor of Chuck and his contribution to the city of Washington, D.C., here is Bustin' Loose.  RIP Chuck!
