RIP Bobby Bennett, last surviving member of James Brown's most famous Famous Flames and one of the first to welcome a pimply faced fan backstage that eventually turned into a career. Love you, Shakey! Pictured on the right with the late Bobby Byrd in 1967.

The Famous Flames were a vocal quartet… not James Brown’s band. The members were James Brown, Bobby Bennett, Bobby Byrd and Lloyd Stallworth with occasional help from Johnny Terry.
