Once You Lose The Weight, You're Really

When Malcolm X Was Assassinated I Was Working At The Apollo. They Brought His Body To The Unity Funeral Home, Which Was Around The Corner.

The Music Was Thunder And Joy. Lightning Bolts Of Happiness And Praise, Foot-stomping, Dance-shouting, Good-feeling Singing From The Soul.

My Mother Always Wanted Me To Be Glamorous. When I Thought About That, It Really Fired Me Up, And Once I Lost All Those Pounds, I Started To Feel Really Good About Myself.

I Like To Shop, But I Don't Like To Go Out To Dances.

It's Not About Battling The Original Artists When I Record These Songs, It's About Paying Tribute To Them.
