I don't know if it's my music, my lyrics, my sound, and knowing the music business the way I do-all I can say is, my career has lasted way longer than I expected.
From Barry White
I kept my babies fed. I could have dumped them, but I didn't. I decided that whatever trip I was on, they were going with me. You're looking at a real daddy.
I've always loved War's Low Rider and Sly Stone's Thank You, and I just wanted to put my take on them.
Most families had four, five brothers. But because it was just me and Darryl, we had to be twice as strong.
No one could understand the bond between me and my brother. I struggled to understand the forces that drove his soul in one direction and mine in another.
One preacher turned me on, another turned me off.
People are always looking for me to be a freak, weird.
The cops picked me up for attempted murder. I can still see the detectives, licking their chops. Thought they had me. Two weeks later, the cat came out of a coma and told the truth. I was innocent.
The whole system of society tells you what to do.
We forget that this music, music made by my brothers and sisters, is still a baby. It's just beginning. When I think of the possibilities, it makes me smile.
