Schwarze Musik / Black Music Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Schwarze Musik / Black Music:

Black music is too big and too powerful not to have its own awards show. Don Cornelius

In 1965, when great young white artists in the English-speaking world were successfully re-channeling hillbilly and black music - you know Bob Dylan, Ray Davies, Pete Townsend, Keith Richards - they didn't get any money at first. They were all broke.

Iggy Pop

As would-be songwriters, our interest was in black music and black music only. We wanted to write songs for black voices.

Mike Stoller

If you're doing black music, you should have a core understanding of where that comes from, and the fundamentals - so you're not some bozo thinking you're doing something new.

Anderson Paak

With the White Stripes we were trying to trick people into not realising we were playing the blues. We did not want to come off like white kids trying to play black music from 100 years ago so a great way to distract them was by dressing in red, white and black.

Jack White

I prefer black music in general.

Phil Collins

If I were to call it black music, that would be untrue. I don't know what that is, unless it would be some African drums or something.

Dexter Gordon

You cannot have black music without something soulful in it, whether it's lyrically, how it's performed, or how it's expressed.

BJ the Chicago Kid

There was certainly, like, a rebellious, like, youthful rage in me. And there was also the fact of no getting away from fact that I am white, and you know, this is predominantly black music, you know.

Eminem

Black music has increased my enjoyment of what I do. It has increased my range, my ability to reach into myself and accept myself.

Michael Bolton

The problem is the following, black music is increasing encumbered by white elements, often pleasant but always superfluous, easily and advantageously replaced with black elements.

Boris Vian

One motivation for the 'Soul Train' awards was the grumbling that all of us in the industry have heard about the way black music tends to be viewed as a secondary phenomenon by the other awards shows.

Don Cornelius

That's because we did not set out to make black music. We set out to make quality music that everyone could enjoy and listen to.

Smokey Robinson

A lot of my success comes from black music. It's something I'm very proud of.

Michael Bolton

I would like to involve myself in some black music. I would like to do some blues and some gospel music. I want to try stuff from other genres and try to widen my musical base.

Greg Lake

At the same time, I was listening to black music, and I began to think that the best musicians were receiving the worst treatment. The people who were doing the greatest work were despised as lower class, with no dignity accorded to what they did.

Henry Flynt

I know a lot of people who enjoy rap music who aren't black. You can't just say it's black music. To segregate films the way Hollywood likes to segregate films, ultimately everyone loses.

F. Gary Gray

Rap actually comes out of punk rock, not black music.

Stanley Crouch

It's fair to say that white America wouldn't have elected an African-American president without the integrating effect of black music - from Louis Armstrong to hip-hop - and black drama and fiction, commercial as much as 'serious.'

Joe Haldeman

Presley is country music, white music. Jazz is black music - it was invented by the blacks in New Orleans. And I'm really a jazz singer. I was impressed with Elvis - he was the handsomest guy I ever met in my life, and a very nice person, too. But the music doesn't impress me.

Tony Bennett

Black music is too big and too powerful not to have its own awards show.

Don Cornelius

What I do isn't black music; it's just my music.

Daryl Hall

Historically, black music has influenced other cultures and other genres and created other genres.

Miguel

I guess hip-hop has been closer to the pulse of the streets than any music we've had in a long time. It's sociology as well as music, which is in keeping with the tradition of black music in America.

Quincy Jones

I had written a tune called 'Shake, Rattle and Roll,' but the white stations refused to play it - they thought it was low-class black music. We thought what we needed was a new name. But a white disc jockey named Alan Freed laid on it, and he thought up the name 'rock n' roll.'

Jesse Stone

The whole thing about 'progressive R&B' blows my mind. Black music has always been progressive.
