We had some problems - my children were kidnapped during that time, and it just changed my whole way of thinking, from being in show business and everything else.
From Solomon Burke
The secret was to just be cool, stay in God's graces, and work it out.
I walked out of the Chinese restaurant with a fat check, a record deal, and a box of shrimp egg foo yung!

You gotta do it with class and integrity. If not, you're gonna drag yourself through the mud.
I want to be a soul singer.
As you grow older, you learn to understand life a little better.
I should have my own publishing companies.
I didn't need to borrow money from the record company, because if I had my own publishing company, and I had my own writers, I'd have enough to get and do whatever I wanted to do.
We were using the record as a tool to invest money into real estate all through the South, because we were living in an era where the South was changing.
