Ladies & gentlemen I give you the Godfather of Soul!
Fast facts:
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included "Say it Loud" as one of their 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
In 2004 "Say It Loud — I'm Black and I'm Proud" was ranked number 305 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
It is notable both as one of Brown's signature songs and as one of the most popular "black power" anthems of the 1960s. The song was released as a two-part single which held the number-one spot on the R&B singles chart for six weeks, and peaked at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100.
