birthday senior school
I quit high school on my birthday. It was my senior year and I didn't see the point. This was 1962, and I was ready to make music.
writing fool boring
I never learned to read or write music. Never wanted to fool with scales. That was boring, forced. The music I heard was free - flowing.
leave-me-alone fine leaving-me
Leave me alone. I'm fine.
pimp mind clubs
I didn't mind working in the clubs, but I resented it being a club where pimps hang out. Because the music that I create is of a higher intellect than that. It not only encompasses pimps, but whores, ballplayers, executives... everybody.
mother scared speak
I woke up when I was 14 and went to speak to my mother and scared us both to death.
writing clothes car
All I had was the will and the love for music. I couldn't read music or write it. No connections, no car, no money, no bankroll, no clothes, no nothing.
mean cat fighting
There's a time when people give their words to each other it has to mean something. I'm a street cat. I've belonged in gangs and when you had a partner, you went down with your partner whether you won the fight or lost it. You went down together.
girl baby strong
Been making love for hours and, baby, we're still going strong. Girl, this night is ours and I swear I feel it coming on. All I know is when we get through, I ain't going to be able to move.
artist black littles
Blacks own so little of the music business, it's pathetic. But I see that changing soon. Black artists, black businessmen and women will unite.
careers knowing sound
I don't know if it's my music, my lyrics, my sound and knowing the music business the way I do - all I can say is, my career has lasted way longer than I expected.
heart hands commit
When I commit, I commit with my whole heart, my whole being. I know the Bible like the back of my hand.
caring people records
I'm very happy with this new record. It's dealing with different aspects of love-it's me making a statement about people doing something with their lives. It is about caring for others.
cat two licking
The cops picked me up for attempted murder. I can still see the detectives, licking their chops. Thought they had me. Two weeks later, the cat came out of a coma and told the truth. I was innocent.
quality weakness sweetness
I'm so thankful that your mine, your sweetness is my weakness.
