Top 10 Things I Learned from James Brown
By Keith Jenkins, who played in James Brown's band the Soul Generals for 12 years
10. "Playing loud on stage is like hollering into a telephone: It doesn't make sense."
9. "There are no jobs in America."
8. "Stay out of the promoter's face."
7. "Imply: Don't apply."
6. "Funk is simple, but it's so simple that the world goes right past it."
5. "If you don't know it, you can't do it."
4. "... Happiness is Fred Wesley, playing his horn."
3. "The first take is from God. Everything else is from man. You know who I'm going with!"
2. "If you ain't about nothing, at least look like something."
1. "Always leave the audience wanting more."

a while he'd do"jam"right after that and man we had a ball.#9 say's no job's in america.i'm curious,does that mean keith isn't working?why haven't the
soul g's/j.b's continued as a band by now?#10 playing loud on stage.i remember the last show i saw in massachuetts june'06.j.b told the sound man to
turn it down.i dissagreed and wanted them to make it louder.
