I’m not a star. I’ll never be a Frank Sinatra or Elvis Presley or a Ray Charles. I’m just an imitator, man.

I’m just backing up the cats Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Deptford in south London, and at that time I used to wear toppers, loon pants and tonic suits from shops like Take 6 and Topman.

What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience. Talk about awesome 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

It’s like James Brown used to say... I don’t know, but whatever I play it’s got to be funky Picture Quote #1

But that kind of falls in line; when you think about it, james Brown was a funk minimalist. all of those parts create a sum that’s larger than than the individual parts Picture Quote #1

Doing this James Brown thing for the last couple of days has been ideal. But it’s a different kind of fun Picture Quote #1
