I'm A Real Rebel With A Cause.

Funk, Gospel, Blues Is All Out Of Slavery Times, Out Of Depression, Out Of Sorrow.

Desegregation Is A Joke.

Since I Was Three I've Been Playing The Piano. I've Been Onstage.

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 Are All Kinds Of Things That Can Be Done. You Can Change Rhythms, You Can Change Chords, You Can Change Whole Concepts. But It Will Only Work, On A Record Or In A Performance, If You Can Make The People Buy It.
