“What I do isn't black music; it's just my music.” — Daryl Hall Quote

“What I do isn't black music; it's just my music.”

“The first thing I ever did was play talent shows at the Uptown Theater and the Adelphi Ballroom.”

“Reject what you don't want. Get rid of dead wood.”

“When people say Jerry Lee Lewis invented rock n' roll, they forget Little Richard. People talk about Elvis Presley and forget he was singing black music. I don't blame Elvis. It was the music business figuring it could make more money from this music if it weren't presented from the original source.”

“White people couldn't do black music back in the day because they weren't funky or bad enough. They weren't from the ghettoes, but hip-hop and R&B changed all of that because white kids want to be down with it. They wanted to learn it so they studied the culture. It's kind of a cool thing because we shouldn't be so separate.”
