«O influente cantor de funk William Onyeabor tinha 70 anos.
William Onyeabor morreu esta segunda-feira, 16 de janeiro, aos 70 anos, confirmou a editora do músico através da página de Facebook. "Ele morreu pacificamente durante o sono depois de uma breve doença", revela o comunicado.
O músico editou oito álbuns de música funk entre 1977 e 1985. No início dos anos 1990, William Onyeabor decidiu dedicar-se totalmente ao cristianismo, deixando a música.
Os seus temas de synth-funk foram redescobertos recentemente, graças à coletânea "Who Is William Onyeabor?". Em 2014, David Byrne (Talking Heads) e Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) juntaram-se a outros artistas para homenagear Onyeabor.» in http://mag.sapo.pt/showbiz/artigos/morreu-william-onyeabor-pioneiro-da-musica-funk

"Good Name
Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
I have a good name; I have a good name
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy my name
Do you have a good name; do you have a good name?
Then no money, no money, no money, no money, no money should buy your name
I mean what I am saying
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
I mean what I am saying
That no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
Do you have your conscience; do you have your conscience?
Then no money, no money, no money, no money, no money should buy your name
I have my conscience; I have my conscience.
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy my name
Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name

Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
I have a good name; I have a good name
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy my name
Do you have a good name, do you have a good name?
Then no money, no money should buy your name
I mean what I am saying
That no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
Don’t sell your conscience; don’t sell your
conscience
As no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name
C'mon
Good name is better than silver and gold
And no money, no money, no money, no money, no money can buy good name"
