Quotes by James Brown
The beat goes on, and so do I.
Papa's got a brand new bag.
I taught the world how to funk.
Life is like a song; you gotta keep the rhythm.
I don't need no doctor; I've got soul.
Hard work pays off.
I'm black and I'm proud.
The stage is my home.
You can't sit still when the funk hits.
I came from nothing and made something.
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud.
Music heals the soul.
I don't follow trends; I set them.
Living in America ain't easy, but it's home.
The cape is my signature.
I put my heart into every note.
From rags to rhythm.
Cold sweat runs down my back when I perform.
I believe in the power of the groove.
You gotta have soul to survive.
