Narada Michael Walden People Quotations

White people couldn't do black music back in the day because they weren't funky or bad enough. They weren't from the ghettoes, but hip-hop and R&B changed all of that because white kids want to be down with it. They wanted to learn it so they studied the culture. It's kind of a cool thing because we shouldn't be so separate.

I take jobs with people I admire, people with incredible talent who aren't necessarily big sellers.

I'm known for being a good listener. Most people need a lot of love and encouragement and I'm more than willing to give a person all the encouragement and time they need.

I just want to play for the people, give my new sound to them, and encourage them and be encouraged by people.

There's nothing more exciting than playing live for the people. Just play it, just do it.
