"I'm a workaholic. I work hard, and I play hard. But I work harder than I play."
"I ain't no superstar. I'm just a man who loves to sing and dance."
"I'm a force of nature. I'm a force to be reckoned with. I'm a force to be admired."
"You can't have peace until you have a piece of the pie."
About James Brown (1933-2006)
American singer and 'Godfather of Soul' whose 1960s-70s recordings invented funk and shaped hip-hop's rhythmic foundations. Closely associated with Sly Stone (fellow funk pioneer (Sly and the Family Stone)) and George Clinton (Parliament-Funkadelic successor). For an intellectual contrast, see Berry Gordy, Motown founder — Motown made Black popular music palatable for white radio with smoothed-out crossover production; Brown's funk insisted on the raw groove without compromise. The two opposite paths Black popular music took out of the 1960s — Motown polish vs JB raw.
