Everybody needs somebody.
Anybody singing the blues is in a deep pit yelling for help.
Blues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope.
The mind and the voice by themselves are not sufficient.
Gospel music in those days of the early 1930s was really taking wing. It was the kind of music colored people had left behind them down South and they liked it because it was just like a letter from home.
You're blessed if you have the strength to work.
