He actually died in an unfortunate accident involving parachute pants. This video was just made by residual funk working it's way out of our dimension. It's a natural process, and one that can take upwards of twenty years for such an enormous amount of funk. You may also see his jive (more commonly referred to these days as "game") impregnate a few women as it's makes its way back to the heavens, but that's a good thing. It brings forth new sources of hip jiveturkey groovage in the form of up-and-coming R&B/rap/soul/doo-*** artists.
Unfortunately, the onslaught of drugs the jive/funk culture withstood in the 60s and 70s which lead to the early demise of such great names in the business as Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendricks has lead to a startling shortage of funk and jive in the last 10 or 15 years. The absence has lead to the rise of such funkless musicians as Justin Bieber and The Brothers Jonas. However, the shortage in funk/jive we have seen is projected to ease away with the recent deaths of Michael Jackson and Ray Charles (both were known to be enormous sources of funk). It should be ended with the impending deaths of the legendary artists Stevie Wonder and Sir Elton John, possibly the largest surviving sources of jive/funk in the Western Hemisphere. Hope is not lost.
