Black Music Quotes

Black music has become a commercial commodity. Live performances are not so accessible as they were previously. It use to be possible to go to the bar on the corner and hear music. It was available for a fifteen cent beer. Archie Shepp
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
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. Mos Def
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
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

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
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
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
Stanley Crouch quote: "Rap actually comes out of punk rock, not black music."
Rap actually comes out of punk rock, not black music. Stanley Crouch
Michael Bolton quote: "A lot of my success comes from black music. It's something I'm..."
A lot of my success comes from black music. It's something I'm very proud of. Michael Bolton
Nina Simone quote: "Jazz is a white term to define black people. My music is black..."
Jazz is a white term to define black people. My music is black classical music. Nina Simone
« Eliza opened her furry black satchel. She pulled out a portable CD player. “Gav, look here. Once, I loved this machine. Because it plays all my CDs. But nobody buys music in the stores any more! Even I don’t pay for music, and I’m rich! I’m carrying a zombie in my purse!” “Well, yes, that platform is obsolete now, but a new business model will arise for music.” “No it won’t! That’s a lie! Nobody will ever pay! The music business is the walking dead! Don’t lie to me.” Eliza stuffed her... Bruce Sterling
Books are frozen voices, in the same way that musical scores are frozen music. The score is a way of transmitting the music to someone who can play it, releasing it into the air where it can once more be heard. And the black alphabet marks on the page represent words that were once spoken, if only in the writer’s head. They lie there inert until a reader comes along and transforms the letters into living sounds. The reader is the musician of the book: each reader may read the same text, just... Margaret Atwood
