artist black littles
Blacks own so little of the music business, it's pathetic. But I see that changing soon. Black artists, black businessmen and women will unite.
girl men artist
The women used the music to get their men to relate to them better: "talk to me, tell me what's on your mind." Men used the music to get the girls in the mood to make love. So either way you had it, Barry White is the one artist who actually was in your bedroom with you at your most sacred, sensuous moment of your life.

Disco deserved a better name, a beautiful name because it was a beautiful art form. It made the consumer beautiful. The consumer was the star.

Everyone to me has to pick a subject to talk about in music if you're going to be a writer.

I kept my babies fed. I could have dumped them, but I didn't. I decided that whatever trip I was on, they were going with me. You're looking at a real daddy.

In my day, we didn't have the cocaine, so we went out and knocked somebody over the head and took the money. But today, all this cocaine and crack, it doesn't give kids a chance.

I woke up one morning, went downstairs, said 'Good morning' to my mother and nearly scared both of us to death.'

Mama tried to save us from the streets, but the streets were too strong.

I went to jail at 16 for stealing tires off Cadillacs. When I got out I said, Never again.

People are always looking for me to be a freak, weird.
