To Be Young, Gifted And Black!

I Believe In Racial Memory Too. I'm Sure I've Got Ancient African Blood In Me That Has Something To Do With What I Am.

I'm Sorry That I Did Not Become The World's First Black Classic Pianist. I Think I Would Have Been Happier.

It's Logical That People From Bad Times Will Reflect Their Feelings In Their Communication. Music Is Part Of The Communication. If You Lived It, You Can Do It.

The Beatles Are Lucky, Very Lucky. But What Has Happened To Them Has Nothing To Do With Them, In A Sense. They Came Along At The Right Time. Attention Was Focused On Them. They've Had The Chance To Grow In Almost Any Direction They Wanted. Very Lucky. They Are Not Exceptionally Talented.
