Politics are not my arena. Music is.

If you disrespect everybody that you run into, how in the world do you think everybody's supposed to respect you?

I donate heavily to the church and various churches in the Detroit community and food banks.

Call in the Caped Crusader, Green Hornet, Kato, too. I'm in so much trouble I don't know what to do.

I've never recorded anything I didn't like.

Let's start with the church. As you know, it's my background, it's a natural setting for me and it's definitely my roots.

I remember singing around the house to records that were playing. All kinds of music. And the great James Cleveland was often in our house, and I grew up with his sound as well.
