James Brown : I didn't need melody to make music. That was, to me, old-fashioned and out of step. I now realised that I could compose and sing a song that used one chord or, at the most, two. Although Papa's Got A Brand new bag has just two chords, and a melody sung over what is really a single note, it is just as musical as anything Pavarotti has ever sung. More important, it stood for everything I was about - pride, leadership, strength, intensity.
