“To make it in life, you and your wife need to be in the same business. That has been my problem all along. My wives didn't know what I was doing. I would come back home from the road to a stranger. That's no good.”

“When you kiss me,
And ya miss me.
You hold me tight,
Make everything all right.
I break out - in a cold sweat heh!”

Cold Sweat, written with Alfred "Pee Wee" Ellis (1967)
Song lyrics

“Look a'here, some people say we got a lot of malice
Some say it's a lotta nerve
I say we won't quit moving
Til we get what we deserve.
We've been 'buked and we've been scourned
We've been treated bad, talked about
As just as sure as you're born
But just as sure as it take
Two eyes to make a pair, huh
Brother, we can't quit until we get our share.Say it loud,
I'm black and I'm proud.”

Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud, written with Alfred "Pee Wee" Ellis (1968)
Song lyrics

“Watch me … watch me!
I got it!
Watch me … I got it.
HEY!I got somethin' that makes me wanna shout.
I got somethin' that tells me what it's all about.
Huh, I got soul and I'm super bad!”

Super Bad (1970)
