It's Hard To Have A Friend When

Rock 'n' Roll Offered Me A Platform To Speak What I Felt. It Also Offered Me A Platform To Support My Mama And My Brothers And Sisters - Twelve Children.

To Me, True Rock 'n' Roll Has A Lot Of Bottom In It.

Black People Lived Right By The Railroad Tracks And The Train Would Shake Their Houses At Night. I Would Hear It As A Boy And I Thought: I'm Gonna Make A Song That Sounds Like That.

I Decided To Come Back And Teach Goodness In This Business. To Teach Love, Because Music Is The Universal Language. We Are God's Bouquet, And Through Music We Become One.

When You Sit Down And Think About What Rock 'n' Roll Music Really Is, Then You Have To Change That Question. Played Up-tempo, You Call It Rock 'n' Roll; At A Regular Tempo, You Call It Rhythm And Blues.
