Brownie McGhee

There's a lot of good musicians who are unheard of. Get it down before they pass away.

When I was hitch-hiking, people had to follow me, 'cause I didn't stay long.

I met Sonny after (Blind Boy) Fuller died, and me and Sonny played in the streets like everybody else.

As long as you're giving up quality records and you're makin' hit records, people are always gonna want to hear a hit, and they'll always want to be attached to something that's doin' great.

I thought everybody had falsetto. And since I wasn't a schooled singer who studied with anybody, I just thought anybody who had a voice could do anything they wanted with their voice.
