I Always Felt I Never Chose Music,

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.

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.
