Get Me Well So I Can Get

I Often Wonder Whether Negroes Like Myself Who Are Pretty Well Known Help Out At All In Breaking Down Barriers.

I May Be Helping To Bring Harmony Between People Through My Music.

Music Is Emotional, And You May Catch A Musician In A Very Unemotional Mood Or You May Not Be In The Same Frame Of Mind As The Musician. So A Critic Will Often Say A Musician Is Slipping.

I'm Not Playing For Other Musicians. We're Trying To Reach The Guy Who Works All Day And Wants To Spend A Buck At Night. We'll Keep Him Happy.

I'm An Interpreter Of Stories. When I Perform It's Like Sitting Down At My Piano And Telling Fairy Stories.
