It's A Good Time For Black People

How Can You Be An Artist And Not Reflect The Times?

I Believe In Racial Memory Too. I'm Sure I've Got Ancient African Blood In Me That Has Something To Do With What I Am.

I Was Not Reluctant To Become A Singer. Singing Has Been An Activity I've Done My Whole Life, Without Thought.

My Job Is Not Done. I Address My Songs Now To The Third World. I Am Popular All Over Asia And Africa And The Middle East, Not To Speak Of South Africa, Where I'm Trying To Go To See Nelson Mandela.

I'm A Nut For Bach As A Composer.
