My manager was Buddy Glee, who put me together with Mike Curb, and was basically the idea to bring some soul to the label and bring something different to the label besides the Hank Williams situation.
Girls were coming from every angle. I couldn't love them all. But I tried.
Leonard Chess passed, and that was the end of the Chess label for that time.
As you grow older, you learn to understand life a little better.
I want to be a soul singer.
I didn't do the marching down the streets, jumping in front of the lines and holding hands... that wasn't me.
