摘要
But I never try to express what I actually did. I wouldn't try to do that, cause definition's such a funny thing. What's put together to make my music — it's something which has real power. it can stir people up and involve 'em. But it's just something I came to hear. Funk was not a project. it happened as part of my ongoing thing. In 1965, I changed from the upbeat to the downbeat. Simple as that, really. I wasn't going for some known sound, I was aimin' for what I could hear. 'James Brown Anticipation' I'd call it. You see, the thing was ahead. (James Brown, quoted in C. Rose, 1990:46, 59). © 1994, Routledge. All rights reserved.
