When I came to The Moody Blues, we were a rhythm and blues band. I was lousy at rhythm and blues - I think the rest of us were.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I used to be a great blues singer.
I started to like blues, I guess, when I was about 6 or 7 years old. There was something about it, because nobody else played that kind of music.
I like the blues a lot. I grew up on it.
I love blues. My grandfather did blues.
Blues and jazz pulled me away from what was left of my family.
I was more than just a moody artist.
I don't try to just be a blues singer - I try to be an entertainer. That has kept me going.
I never liked blues and I really didn't like jazz. I liked Chuck Berry.
There was one emotional outlet my people always had when they had the blues. That was singing.
I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.
