"I'm the most sampled and stolen. What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine, too … I got a song about that … But I'm never gonna release it. Don't want a war with the rappers. If it wasn't good, they wouldn't steal it."

(James Joseph Brown, cantante, compositore, ballerino; Barnwell, 3 maggio 1933 – Atlanta, 25 dicembre 2006)
