A spokeswoman for the hospital confirmed the death but could not provide a cause, and Brown's manager, Tom Goldfogle, was not immediately available to comment. Goldfogle told the Washington Post Brown died of complications from sepsis. Brown, a singer/songwriter and guitarist had been a key personality in the Washington, D.C. area since the 1970s when he perfected a funky sound that became known as "go-go." The music, which earned a local following in the Washington, D.C. area, was characterized by loud percussion and Brown's ability to stitch together songs and keep crowds dancing throughout performances. He had said the style got its name because "the music just goes and goes," according to the Washington Post. Brown's band, the Soul Searchers, gained the spotlight with their hit "Bustin' Loose," which topped R&B single charts for four consecutive weeks in 1978 with its brash horns and arresting vocals anchored by Brown's gravelly voice. But the sound failed to gain a nationwide following and records that came after, such as "Game Seven," could not match the success of their predecessor. The band's best effort to follow, the single "We Need Some Money (Bout Money)" in 1984, reached No. 26 on record charts. Still, Brown remained active in go-go music and around the Washington D.C. area. A documentary on the musical subgenre appeared in 2002 and prominently featured Brown and his sound. He was nominated for his first Grammy Award in 2011 for best rhythm-and-blues performance by a duo or group for "Love," and in 2005, the National Endowment for the Arts presented Brown with a Lifetime Heritage Fellowship Award.
