I'm Not A Jazz Singer, Blues Singer

I'd Like To Think That When I Sing A Song, I Can Let You Know All About The Heartbreak, Struggle, Lies And Kicks In The Ass I've Gotten Over The Years For Being Black And Everything Else, Without Actually Saying A Word About It.

The Important Thing Is To Feel Your Music, Really Feel It And Believe It.

I Don't Think Any Of Us Really Knows Why We're Here. But I Think We're Supposed To Believe We're Here For A Purpose.

There's Nothing Written In The Bible, Old Or New Testament, That Says, 'if You Believe In Me, You Ain't Going To Have No Troubles.'

My Music Had Roots Which I'd Dug Up From My Own Childhood, Musical Roots Buried In The Darkest Soil.
