James Brown Quotes

Some like them fat, some like them tall, some like them short, skinny legs and all. I like them all Picture Quote #1

James Brown’s Live at the Apollo is not just a musical whiplash, it’s a spiritual cleansing. You can just close your eyes and see him doing the splits, kicking the mic stand and doing a 360 Picture Quote #1

I think art can really serve to inspire a movement - and, of course, it has in the past. The Civil Rights movement wouldn’t have the same resonance without the songs from everyone from Pete Seeger to Odetta to James Brown Picture Quote #1

James Brown and Frank Sinatra are two different quantities in the universe. They represent two different experiences of the world Picture Quote #1

Got ants in my pants and I need to dance, so big fine mama, come give me a chance Picture Quote #1

The hardest thing about being James Brown is I have to live. I don’t have no down time Picture Quote #1

I was stillborn. The midwives laid me aside, thought I was really gone. I laid there about an hour, and they picked me back up and tried again, ‘cause my body was still warm. The Good Lord brought me back Picture Quote #1

There would be no Rock and Roll without Ike Turner, James Brown, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint, etc. Fake ghetto books and fake ghetto music. Elvis Presley, whom they idol, is merely a karaoke makeover of James Brown and Chuck Berry Picture Quote #1

It’s bluesy, rocky jazz. I call it soul music, but it’s not James Brown soul music. It comes from my soul. It comes from a deeper place. Duffy has that similar old school soul sound to herself. If I opened for Duffy, that would make sense to me, in my head Picture Quote #1

Anyone who can do the splits and come back up on the backbeat, as James Brown and Prince can, has my eternal respect. Prince, who is a genius of the highest order, can come back up while singing and playing the guitar Picture Quote #1

I think what I came through is great, but my son can take it to another level, not having to fight racism. His mother’s a Norwegian and I’m mixed up four or five times, so he can face the world Picture Quote #1

Like Christ said, love thee one another. I learned to do that, and I learned to respect and be appreciative and thankful for what I had Picture Quote #1

I named my new son James Joseph Brown II. I think he’s going to be a lot better than I was Picture Quote #1

I started Michael years ago. I saw him in Gary, Indiana, and we’d have him on the talent shows. He kind of emulated me, and did the best he could Picture Quote #1
