Henry Stone Sittin’ At The Bar with James Brown and Muhammad Ali in Miami

“I was sittin’ at the bar with James Brown and Muhammad Ali, and James said to him, he always said to everybody, “Man, this is the only white man ya trust. Henrystone.” He used to say my name like that, all as one, “Henrnrnestone” in that James Brown way, man. We were sittin’ at the bar, James and I, when Muhammad Ali came in. He didn’t drink, but he used to hang out.”
