A lot of my success comes from black music. It’s something I’m very proud of Picture Quote #1

I come in with this rock ‘n’ roll-oriented music, and it’s not black enough . . . I’ve always had to deal with this black-white thing Picture Quote #1

House Music isn’t black or white. It just is. It feels good and it feels right Picture Quote #1

It was unlikely that anyone had ever heard a black person sing country music Picture Quote #1

I like most kinds of music. So I haven’t got a bag, as they say... except the big black one in the hall outside Picture Quote #1

You don’t see a lot of black rock stars. The music industry tends to be segregated stylistically. It’s hard for a black artist to cross over to rock music Picture Quote #1

Playing rock ‘n’ roll music, it’s going to be integrated, but being black you didn’t want to go into some neighborhood where you weren’t wanted Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

Kansas City, I would say, did more for jazz music, black music, than any other influence at all. Almost all their joints that they had there, they used black bands. Most musicians who amounted to anything, they would flock to Kansas City because that’s the place where jobs were plentiful Picture Quote #1

I think what I listen to now is what I listened to as a kid which is kind of black American soul. I love soul music Picture Quote #1

The music I’m making is like an explosion of love. It moves away from super dark, its more romanticized and floral, but still quite black Picture Quote #1

The Bee Gees were always heavily influenced by black music. As a songwriter, it’s never been difficult to pick up on the changing styles of music out there, and soul has always been my favourite genre Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Bob Marley performed the ‘One Love Peace’ concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There’s always been that in black music and culture in general. It’s no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what’s going on in black life. It’s not unusual for hip-hop Picture Quote #1

I think that American music, for me, it’s a synthesis of a lot of different things. But for me growing up in North Carolina, the stuff that I was listening to, the things that I was hearing, it was all about black music, about soul music Picture Quote #1

Half of the modern world goes back as far as Pearl Jam. The real historians go back to U2. But they need to go back further. They have to go back to the 50s and 60s, where things started. That’s how you get to be your own personality, by studying the masters. Rock and roll was white kids trying to make black music and failing, gloriously! Picture Quote #1

I see music in colours. I love music that’s black, pink, purple or red - but I hate music that’s green, yellow or brown Picture Quote #1

Though I’m not the first king of controversy, I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley. To do black music so selfishly, and use it to get myself wealthy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m proud to be white. I don’t have anything against my color. But I don’t think color matters, either. Just like I feel it doesn’t matter that I’m a white dude doin’ black music Picture Quote #1
