You Gotta Love And Learn

Remember The Stax Label And How If You Liked One Record, You Liked All The Others As Well? You Don't Talk To A Lot Of People Who Tell You How Much They Love Their Record Label. I Don't Care How Many Records They Sell.

You Gotta Love And Learn And Learn To Live.

When I Was Asked If I Wanted To Perform On The Grand Ole Opry, I Yelled, 'are You Kidding Me?' I've Been Waiting For That My Whole Life.

I'm A Kid Who Grew Up In An All African-american Neighborhood And Got Into Schools And Aspired To Just Be Me, And Didn't Worry About Labels Or Anything. Just Wanted To Be A Success At What I Did.
