“When I think of music, I think of music in its totality, complete. Fro...” — Donny Hathaway Quote

“When I think of music, I think of music in its totality, complete. From the lowest blues to the highest symphony, you know, so what I'd like to do is exemplify each style of as many periods as I can possibly do.”

“When I think of music, I think of music in totality, complete.”

“I found the blues too limiting, and classical was too disciplined.”

“As we all know, the evil of slavery and the sting of the whip have given us many things including the voice of Nina Simone, the prose of James Baldwin, the Air Jordan sneaker, the blues, jazz, moonwalking, and more recently gangsta rap.”

“I kind of got really, really into 'Hill Street Blues' when it came out. I used to leave a class early just to make sure I could watch the episode of 'Hill Street Blues' that day.”
