“While recording ‘Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag,’ I could feel something new kicking around inside me. Soon enough, I gave birth to a little baby I named funk…I had created something new and important for both Black and White audiences, and like the great Mr. Sinatra, I’m not ashamed to say I did it my way” (James Brown, I Feel Good, 2005).
