I Sing The Songs That People Need

In Some Ways, It's My Rage That Keeps Me Going.

This Is An Album Of Songs That I've Always Loved, Tunes That I Heard. For The First Time In 53 Years Of Recording, I Really Had Control Over An Entire Album, Start To Finish.

What Happens Is, When I Perform, I'm Somewhere Else. I Go Back In Time And Get In Touch With Who I Really Am. I Forget My Troubles, My Worries.

When Malcolm X Was Assassinated I Was Working At The Apollo. They Brought His Body To The Unity Funeral Home, Which Was Around The Corner.

You Can't Fake This Music. You Might Be A Great Singer Or A Great Musician But, In The Need, That's Got Nothing To Do With It. It's How You Connect To The Songs And To The History Behind Them.
