  • Quotes
    [on persuading President Barack Obama to perform the blues] I'd have a double dose of blues if I had to remember all the names [he has to]. Somebody whispered that if you sing "Sweet Home Chicago" he may come up and sing a verse. I was fit to go on the table if he didn't do it 'cause everybody'd be saying, :Hey man, you done made some kind of remark at the Commander in Chief".
