I was never exposed to a great deal of racism, but the Chicago I grew up in was very, very segregated.
Nobody really invents anything that hasn't been done before.
There were three great child singing stars: Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Jackie Washington.

My father worked real hard. I admired him. My father taught me you needed to work with your brain and not your back. I've made that a passion.

I had difficulty working for other people.
'Soul Train' was developed as a radio show on television. It was the radio show that I always wanted and never had.
