WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) introduced a resolution that would support the designation of Chuck Brown's birthday, August 22nd, as national "Chuck Brown Day" to honor his contributions as the "Godfather of Go-Go" and his support for District of Columbia statehood. The musical genre of go-go originated in D.C. with Brown as the main progenitor. Norton introduces the resolution each year for Brown's birthday. 'Chuck Brown was loved by this city and the nation for his innovative and unique sound, which gave us the music of go-go," Norton said.
