Quote for the Day:
"He [Jackie Wilson] was a family friend. My father was a minister, but he was also a gospel music disc jockey in Chicago at the time, on radio station WVEE.
Ironically, my father knew Don Cornelius back then, but I didn't know until after 'Soul Train'. Because Don Cornelius had worked at the station, too.
But mh parents had a lot of friends in show business, too. Jackie Wilson was one. One of the first memories I have going to a concert was Jackie Wilson.
He was the first person to bring me onstage and, I'm telling you, it had such an impact.
To this day, I remember he was such a good-smelling man. [laughs].
We used to see him all the time when I was little. As time went on, and our family moved around a lot, we didn't see so much of him. We didn't have a christening or anything like that where he was my godfather, but he'd say "I'm your godfather."
I don't have a lot of pictures from when I was little because some of our things were lost in storage, but I have a picture of Jackie Wilson and my father. It's on my piano."
