Style original. (en) James Brown Is Dead is een nummer van het Nederlandse houseduo L.A. Style uit 1991. Het is de eerste single van hun titelloze debuutalbum. Toen de dj's Wessel van Diepen en Michiel van der Kuy het nummer opnamen, speelden ze in op de opkomst van de hardere stroming van housemuziek. "James Brown Is Dead" werd niet onder de eigen namen uitgebracht; er werd een verhaal bedacht over ene Denzil Slemming, een Amerikaanse dj die in Nederland woonachtig zou zijn. Het nummer werd een enorme hit en schoot snel door naar nummer 1 in de Top 40. Daarbij was het de eerste danceplaat van Nederlandse makelij die een nummer-1-positie wist te krijgen. Ook in het Duitse taalgebied, Italië, Spanje, Australië en Zweden werd het nummer een grote hit. Het bereikte zelfs de Amerikaanse Billboard Hot 100, waarin het goed was voor een 59e positie. Hiermee was het in diverse landen, waaronder de Verenigde Staten, voor het eerst dat een rave-nummer de hitparades haalde. Het nummer zorgde voor een kettingreactie. Niet veel later scoorde Holy Noise een hit met James Brown is still alive. Ook andere producers flansten vergelijkbare nummers in elkaar zoals Traumatic Stress met Who the Fuck is James Brown, Interactive met Who is Elvis?, 7 Sons met Vater Abraham ist tod en Obscure FM met Michael Jackson Is in Heaven Now.
