Is it THE Jack Johnson? One time somebody on youtube had an actual recording of Johnsons voice n his prime. Sounded just like that, if not, deeper and more intimidating. "Im black. They never let me forget. Im black alright. I'll never let them forget it" Might be my favorite boxing quote ever
No, it isn't Johnson's voice. It sounds like the voice of the singer ,and actor Brock Peters' ,who played Crown in Porgy and Bess. Johnson's voice can be heard on the thread relating to his foot work versus Ali,of course he was in his sixties then, but it is a different voice.
lol it is Brock Peters great guess! Its from the jack johnson album by Miles Davis. Done during the 60s when Johnson's name was taken from the past for civil rights. Johnson's real voice was more squeaky! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7KPCcSy2qo[/ame] www.youtube.com/eslubin
Brock Peters at the end of the track "Yesternow". Can be found on the Miles Davis album "A Tribute to Jack Johnson". http://www.allmusic.com/album/a-tribute-to-jack-johnson-r137455/review edit: Incredible album by the way.
