“Joe Sample was one of my heroes. I met him at the Curacao Jazz festiva...” — India Arie Quote

“Joe Sample was one of my heroes. I met him at the Curacao Jazz festival, and I fanned out like he was the Beatles!”

“What I love about Stevie Wonder is the way he makes people feel. He's one of the best examples of how music can heal.”

“Songs like 'Peaceful World' and songs that are responsible with their lyrics and talk about love and harmony can take the forefront and do something for real.”

“The Beatles and the Stones had Elvis and Hollywood, but when it came to my generation America meant Richard Nixon and Vietnam.”

“My favorite artists have always been Elvis and The Beatles and they still are!”

“So whenever I hear The Beatles I always feel I've got a lot in common with everybody else.”
