thinking joy males
And I think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.
thinking sensitive
I don't think that you have to be effeminate to be sensitive.
mean thinking expression
I think they saw me as something like a deliverer, a way out. My means of expression, my music, was a way in which a lot of people wished they could express themselves and couldn't.
caring thinking men
I think that a man should be caring.
thinking rocks down-and
When you sit down and think about what rock 'n' roll music really is, then you have to change that question. Played up-tempo, you call it rock 'n' roll; at a regular tempo, you call it rhythm and blues.
men thinking having-strength
I don't think a woman has to act like a man to show that she has strength.
thinking enough enough-love
I also think that what's wrong with all of us is that we don't show enough love toward each other.
flash kids music pan people roll
People called rock & roll 'African music.' They called it 'voodoo music.' They said that it would drive the kids insane. They said that it was just a flash in the pan - the same thing that they always used to say about hip-hop.
bedroom
My mother died, and I couldn't stand to look at her bedroom any more. I'd get sick. I've always been a momma's boy.
life
If I had my life to live over, I would want to be a man.
bunch dime good gotten miss money rhythm
I've never gotten money from most of those records. And I made those records: In the studio, they'd just give me a bunch of words, I'd make up a song! The rhythm and everything. 'Good Golly Miss Molly'! And I didn't get a dime for it.
business
I think my legacy should be that when I started in show business, there wasn't no such thing as rock n' roll. When I started with 'Tutti Frutti,' that's when rock really started rocking.
architect believe people
A lot of people call me the architect of rock & roll. I don't call myself that, but I believe it's true.
names household hard
It's hard to have a friend when your name's a household word.
