Fitness Quote by Don Cornelius
“I've been accused of not being up on hip-hop or not being a fan of hip-hop, which was never true. If you had a following and you were charting in the major industry magazines Billboard, and before that Cash Box we had a commitment that 'Soul Train' was yours. And we lived up to that. We saw ourselves as a mirror of what black radio was doing.”
