“The Godfather of Go-Go,” Chuck Brown is the undisputed sole founder and creator Go-Go music, a hypnotically danceable genre deeply rooted in funk and soul that he developed in the early 70s, and the only form of expressive culture to originate in the District of Columbia.  Foreshadowing 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.  This esteem was maintained by the reputation of his legendary live shows, heavy on audience participation and built around “the beat” to create an unparalleled non-stop party atmosphere.
