My music was made with everyone in mind with no prejudice towards anyone.

I've been to many gay and straight clubs and I have fun in every one of them. It's always great to hear my music played and to be there with everyone.

People in the gay community are real people too. They have lives and families and friends. They do normal things.

People have the right to love who they love and nobody should have anything to say about it!

There are guys who want to be together, there are woman who want to be together, and there and men and women who want to be together.

I was writing before I met Rick and actually I created the band before Rick Finch. Basically, the first album, I wrote. Who's to say what would've happened? Rick was very talented too.

Actually, we didn't tour that much back in the 70s because we had all these other artists under our hat. My touring was really limited. I tour more now than I did back then.
