If There's Anything About The Business That

In New York, I Was Excited About The Music In New York Because The Only Music That I Was More Or Less Involved With In The South Was Either Country And Western Or Hillbilly Music As We Used To Call It When I Was A Kid And, Ah, Gospel. There Was No, There Was No In Between. And When I Got To New York All The Other Musics That's In The World Just Came Into My Head Whether It Was The Classics, Jazz, I Never Knew What Jazz Was About All, Had Heard Anything About Jazz.

I Enjoyed Singing, I Loved Song Writing, I Loved Recording. All Those Things That Involves With Creating Music Was Great.

If You Just Concentrate On What You're Doing And Allow Yourself To Actually Enjoy And Let Your Feelings Come Out, Whatever The Tempos, Whatever The Rhythms, Whatever The Songs, 9 Out Of 10 Times It Will Work.

Most Black Singers Like To Slow The Word Down And, And Go Directly To Your Heart. They're Not Interested In Your Ears, We Just Want To Go Directly To Your Heart.

People Abroad Always Tend To Take What The Best Of What We Have And Come Back Through The Back Door Always, Say, And Hit Us With It. And Then We Wake Up One Day And Say, I Think I've Heard That. Yeah, It Was Done By Whoever, You Know. So, Ah, That's Been One Of Our Weaknesses We Don't Tend To Hold On As They Do There.
