Soul Train' was developed as a radio show on television. It was the radio show that I always wanted and never had.

I was never exposed to a great deal of racism, but the Chicago I grew up in was very, very segregated.

When you come up with a good idea, you dont have to do a whole lot. The idea does it for you.

The 'Soul Train' legacy and brand are of the utmost importance to me and to 'Soul Train's' millions of fans. After years of offers, I feel the time is now finally right to pass the torch.

As long as the music stayed hot and important and good, that there would always be a reason for 'Soul Train'

There was no match for Barry White. His music is just going to live forever. It's not limited to disco or soul or hip-hop or anything.

I always felt a love for music, but I never got my nerve up enough to try a musical instrument in school.
