During the time that my recording career seemed to be in a slump a music called disco came on the scene and literally took over radio stations as well as having radio stations created to play it which sort of negated my music as well as that of some of my peers.

I have been blessed with some incredible compositions to record and perform and all of my songs have had the ability to grow as I and those who have supported this career of mine for these 50 years have.

I'd like to see a world free of strife, stress, pain, hunger, war - a cool place where everyone could live.

My songs are like my children. I love every single one of them.

All my friends and peers keep asking me when I'm going to rest - I just tell them it's another dirty four-letter word!

What's it all about Alfie, is it just the moment we live?

We are all here to be a service to those who can't be a service to themselves. We can give people hope and more reasons for being human.
