Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
H.Res. 661 is a symbolic resolution that designates August 22, 2025, as "Chuck Brown Day" in honor of the late musician known as the "Godfather of Go-Go." Chuck Brown (1936–2012) was a legendary figure in Washington, D.C., who created and popularized go-go music, a distinctive blend of funk, soul, and Latin sounds that became the official music of the District of Columbia. The resolution recognizes his significant cultural contributions, including his Grammy-nominated work and his influence on multiple music genres, as well as his commitment to advocating for D.C. statehood. This resolution has no budgetary impact or programmatic requirements—it is a congressional tribute honoring Brown's legacy and his lasting influence on American music and the Washington, D.C. community.
