“The blues is a book of the life of Black people. There are happy blues, love blues, homesick blues, preaching blues, east coast blues, west coast blues, gospel blues, jump blues, and uptown blues.”
“Africa is the root, the blues is the trunk and the other styles from jazz to gospel, rock n’ roll and hip-hop are the branches. This is what white people who are always asking, ‘why don’t Black people play the blues anymore’ simply don’t understand.”
“To put it simply, the music existed in Africa and in America long before the white man called it the blues.”
