The only thing I wanted to accomplish was to finally get recognized by the music industry. If you know the awards, answer me this question: Do you see an award for soul music? No. They have R&B, funk, hip-hop and all sorts of contemporary things.

Juicing has helped me bring my pressure down. Organic natural foods, too.

I'm going to keep on keeping on as long as I've got my health and strength, and God gives me that will to do it.

I never took any kind of vocal lessons or teachings of how to - I never even took piano lessons. And a voice just came to me and said, go play the piano in the church.

I'm not planning on singing too late. Maybe another eight or 10 years is enough before I retire. It would also be great to revisit all these stunning places around the world where I have toured.

Being with the Dap-Kings is like being an athlete.

I can't eat processed food.
