Music Has Been A Burden And A

As I Got Older Though I Wanted A Life Of My Own. The Classical Training Was Very Demanding And Thorough. It Was A Very Sheltered Existence. Even Though I Heard Blues And Gospel On The Radio Sometimes, It Was Always Back To The Piano And Study And Give Recitals.

I Think The Rich Are Too Rich And The Poor Are Too Poor. I Don't Think The Black People Are Going To Rise At All; I Think Most Of Them Are Going To Die.

It Doesn't Matter To Me What Is Going On Today Because My Music Encompasses Every Kind Of Mood That Exists In Human Beings. That's My Stick.

There's No Excuse For The Young People Not Knowing Who The Heroes And Heroines Are Or Were.

I Tell You What Freedom Is To Me: No Fear.
