Dad Quote by Corinne Bailey Rae

“My dad hates reggae. He's from St. Kitts, which is a really British island, with Victorian values. He doesn't have a strong Caribbean accent. He didn't play Caribbean music in the house. He was really into soul music, collecting soul 45s.” quote by Corinne Bailey Rae
