You know what, I'm probably one of the most blessed people there's ever been, and I thank God for it.
I left Motown because of the regime of people who were there.
People still look at Michael Jackson as being a Motown artist.
There's so many wonderful gospel people out there, and I don't necessarily want to compete with those people.
And I can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves.
If some of those people who wanted to ban Beethoven's music could hear the music that's being played today, wow, what would they do, man?
I love hearing my music, I love hearing it by other people. I hope it will always be played.
