Back Quote by B. J. Thomas
“I noticed as I was growing up, watching Jackie Wilson and Bobby Bland and those singers, that they seemed to believe wholly and completely in what they were singing. They used to call it 'soul' back when I was a kid, but I knew that it was important to believe in what you were singing.”
