I Always Felt I Never Chose Music, It Chose Me.

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.

When I Got Involved With The Five Crowns Who Later Became The Drifters, And We Got This Hit Record, I Still Was Looking At This As Kind Of A Fun Thing.
