Today, Christmas Day, the music world has mourned the death of one of its great heroes: the "Godfather of Soul", the "Hardest Working Man in Showbiz". Hence my first PR request in months: improvement, it seems, has just started, but what more needs to be done? --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 19:06, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Some suggestions:
- The trivia section should be merged with the rest of the article (most articles are moving away from trivia sections)
- A rationale of fair use should be written for all the album covers used in the article
- If a free image can be found, it should be used as the pictures in the infobox
- More references need to be added throughout the article
- Maybe the singles section could be cut in half or placed into a table, which would make it neater

Here are my suggestions:
- Delete the Pop culture references section.
- Use "Brown", not "Mr. Brown".
- Add a lot more citations, especially for controversial claims.
