James Brown citáty

James Joseph Brown bol afroamerický spevák, skladateľ a hudobný producent. Mal zásadný vplyv na vývoj soulovej a funkovej hudby a jeho skladby tiež výrazne ovplyvnili zvuk hip-hopu.

James Brown je známy ako muž mnohých pseudonymov: "Soul Brother Number One," „Mr. Dynamite,“ "The Hardest-Working Man in Show Business," a predovšetkým „The Godfather of Soul“.

Medzi jeho najväčšie hity patria skladby „Papa's Got a Brand New Bag“, „I Got You “, „Say it Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud“ a samozrejme „Get Up Sex Machine“.

Zomrel vo veku 73 rokov na zlyhanie srdca, ktoré bolo komplikáciou zápalu pľúc. Wikipedia
