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

I grew up listening to a lot of soul music, which has probably informed the way that I sing on my tracks.

I couldn't get my album played over the so-called smooth jazz stations. Jazz stations would not play it. You don't always know who you're making that soul connection with.

I grew up listening to a lot of soul music, and a lot of folk music.

I grew up listening to old soul.

I think listening to real classic soul material made me learn how to feel music that's sung.

I stumbled into soul music at a very young age. It had something that really spoke to me.

I figured as long as the music stayed hot and important and good, that there would always be a reason for 'Soul Train.'

We always thought it strange that nobody was up on that stage playing soul stuff. Maybe people were playing it in their garages, like us, but they always reverted to pure rock when they got on stage.
