Speaker 1: it's fantastic. Yeah, so let's I got so much notes, man,
Speaker 1: I went so hard for this, you want to start,
Speaker 1: Let's just take it back. Let's as far as we
Speaker 1: can go. Where's the inspiration for you guys? Actually thinking
Speaker 1: about it, you guys, there weren't many family groups and bands.
Speaker 1: You know, everybody thinks of the Jackson five, but you
Speaker 1: predate them, right right. So was there any other inspirations
Speaker 1: as as a family unit to make music? Well, we
Speaker 1: you know what, we followed people like Clarde make Fatter,
Speaker 1: you know, and the day and uh, actually our my
Speaker 1: mother and fathers was in the in the business, and
Speaker 1: they were raised us to do what we do. And uh,
Speaker 1: they wanted us to be a group that knew knew
Speaker 1: all the songs, Warren By, gospel, country, Western, everything. They
Speaker 1: taught us all that and they said for the group
Speaker 1: to last as long as the meals of brothers. You know.
Speaker 1: I think we accomplished, you know. And so our first
Speaker 1: hit record was in eighteen fifty nine. You know, you
Speaker 1: make me want to shout to this day. Of course.
Speaker 1: Of course we've been charted all the way up to
Speaker 1: right now, in eight decades our album right now, we
Speaker 1: uh just been on the charts for five weeks it
Speaker 1: was number one, and for thirty weeks has been in
Speaker 1: the top ten. It was number six. Nowns with Beyonce,
Speaker 1: goddamn us. And that's a record that Beyonce record. That's
Speaker 1: a record that had already been sampled from y'all already too.
Speaker 1: That is UM I believe it's cross Roads from um
Speaker 1: Bones and I believe that Street James Remix were not like,
Speaker 1: so yeah, that's crazy. The third or fourth time in
Speaker 1: Beyonce wants to come and sample. How is that? Her
Speaker 1: mother knows UM contact. She's one of our favorite fans.
Speaker 1: You know, we had more samples than James Brown. Wow,
Speaker 1: and James Brown had a lot last last encounter, we
Speaker 1: were over a thousand samples. Yes, with the rappers and
Speaker 1: you know and which is which? Which is like we
Speaker 1: were the flag right? So how was that? Getting a
Speaker 1: call saying that Beyonce wanted to work with y'all and
Speaker 1: especially well, like I called her mother and then said,
Speaker 1: you know, we getting ready to do this album. Wanted
Speaker 1: her to do little you know, the record with us.
Speaker 1: Her mother called her and she in five minutes she
Speaker 1: called back, yes, yes, yes, I want to do and
Speaker 1: she had record at the record with the her group people,
Speaker 1: but it was, you know, a different recording, and so
Speaker 1: we decided on that record. Man. You know, she's so talented, man,
Speaker 1: I mean, she's so talented. I think the people know that.
Speaker 1: They don't know that, but but she's so she worked
Speaker 1: so hard man, and we just were blown away with
Speaker 1: the record. Her mother cried about it. Her favorite song
Speaker 1: is uh A little love of You, you know. And
Speaker 1: we did songs with Rick Cross recently, Yeah, don't you.
Speaker 1: We did songs with Quevo, take Off, Wow, We did
Speaker 1: songs with Shane by uh Snoop Dogg. You know, and
Speaker 1: if you ain't did song with them, they sampled you
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah. I couldn't believe how sampled you. Guys
Speaker 1: were like I knew it, but didn't when you know,
Speaker 1: I'm doing the research. But let me ask you one
Speaker 1: thing because at this time, you know, um hip hop
Speaker 1: used to be considered a fad, right. It was like,
Speaker 1: you know, that's something that people are doing in the hood.
Speaker 1: Did you was you Was it ever concerned of you saying,
Speaker 1: you know what, someone taking my classic record of minds
Speaker 1: is doing it over or um? Was it ever concerned
Speaker 1: like them messing up the legacy of it. My brother
Speaker 1: Ernie called me when the Biggie did uh, and we
Speaker 1: celebrated when the flipped out you know when you call me.
Speaker 1: We put a part of them in that show. Now
Speaker 1: ice Cube, ice Cube is one of my best friends,
Speaker 1: you know, wow, and where you're going too fast on
Speaker 1: you can't be coming from ice Cube. The biggest smalls
Speaker 1: we got at it is he was just saying it
Speaker 1: like it's a regular note. This is not regular people.
Speaker 1: Hold on, okay, and he's not regular records too. These
Speaker 1: records are huge. That's what's the crazy. We had George
Speaker 1: Clinton on recently, right, and the difference that we noticed
Speaker 1: was George have a lot of samples as well, but
Speaker 1: it seems like the samples that sample, y'all, it's the
Speaker 1: huge records. Yeah, like like huge, Like, um, so where
Speaker 1: are you at? Because ice Cube coming comes way before Biggie?
Speaker 1: So when is you you at? Where what is the record? Label?
Speaker 1: Call you and say ice Cube just did your record over? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: and what did they say? They say? Let's say, you know,
Speaker 1: we wanted to listen, you know, so we listen to say, man,
Speaker 1: just this is incredible, right, because you guys haven't clear, right,
Speaker 1: So when the sign I want, I want to do
Speaker 1: one of your songs and every picture that I made.
Speaker 1: That's what he's so, which is a blessing. Yeah, but uh,
Speaker 1: everybody is. I don't know how many samples in between
Speaker 1: the sheets, right earned you keeps something with a lot
Speaker 1: of that, you know, but that's that's that's the same
Speaker 1: one biggie sample and I'm Drake also draking. Little Wayne
Speaker 1: did a freestyle over it as well. Jay Z and
Speaker 1: Whitney Houston. To Jesus, Jesus, I'll just be honest because
Speaker 1: you know this, This is when I think of black excellence.
Speaker 1: When I think of excellence period, I think of you brothers, man,
Speaker 1: I really do. Because like to stand the test of
Speaker 1: time and to still be who you are, that's that's
Speaker 1: a hard that's a hard thing to do. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: a hard thing to do, man, to still have the respect.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. I can ask any
Speaker 1: Jimmy generation about the Odsley's brothers and they all they're
Speaker 1: all going to answer with the same amount of respect.
Speaker 1: Do you understand how much you would love to reved
Speaker 1: in in the community. Wow? Wow, that's that's amazing, man. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's really amazing. We came at what people are like
Speaker 1: Sam Cook, Jackie Wilson, you you name it, you know
Speaker 1: they were. We learned things from Sam Cook, I learned
Speaker 1: things from Jackie Wilson, clad Nick Fatter. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can go all the way back and I can tell
Speaker 1: you stories about all those guys. Man, right, you know,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Henri lifted jersey right in Jersey. That's crazy. I
Speaker 1: was trying to get to that in my notes. You
Speaker 1: made this first record with us, you know, testify, and
Speaker 1: we never thought I mean, we thought he was the
Speaker 1: greatest guitar player in the world, but we never thought
Speaker 1: that he would you know, become before he went, you
Speaker 1: know to acid yeo. And my brother was like playing baseball.
Speaker 1: Then when you started playing with us, our players drums,
Speaker 1: and he talked to Jimmy Hendricks every day, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Hey, he's the next Americs, you know, man,
Speaker 1: you know, all that's been wonderful. God blessed us. Man.
Speaker 1: Our father mother was concerned with us. She said, never
Speaker 1: do drugs. No one in the family had did any drugs,
Speaker 1: you know, And I think that's a big part of
Speaker 1: us with asking this long, you know, but God had
Speaker 1: his hands on us all the way. This is a
Speaker 1: rumor that you was singing in church at two years old. Yes,
Speaker 1: I was, Well, you know about it all because I
Speaker 1: remember reading this story, hearing this story, and I'm sitting
Speaker 1: back and I had to think about my grandmother in church,
Speaker 1: and my grandmother told me up there and be like, well,
Speaker 1: I couldn't sing ship, so I ain't win l twenty
Speaker 1: five dollars right, yeah, twenty five one one. I was
Speaker 1: standing on a chair. So yeah, wow, that's great. Did
Speaker 1: your your mom ain't do that? You ain't? You ain't? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you sonny, Sonny, your mom wasn't proud of you like that.
Speaker 1: I'm just being honest. I'm sorry I took a shot
Speaker 1: at my friend. It's just come all over the place. Man. Okay,
Speaker 1: mmm see that he already took my Jimmy jury questions.
Speaker 1: Talk about fight the power that that Chuck d was
Speaker 1: inspired by You're power? Oh yeah, Ernie wrote that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We uh had our family uh after we finished the
Speaker 1: Living Up album literally seventy four Uh, our mother, nieces
Speaker 1: and nephews and the wives came out and I was
Speaker 1: in a good mood and I jumped in the shower
Speaker 1: and for some reason I started half singing or reciting.
Speaker 1: Time is truly wasting. There's no guarantee smiles in the making.
Speaker 1: Fight the powers that beat and so point this way,
Speaker 1: shower curtain went that way. Water is everywhere, And I
Speaker 1: jumped out the shower and grabbed a pencil, piece of paper,
Speaker 1: scribble that down and put that in my hip pocket.
Speaker 1: Of when we went to Disneyland that day. I didn't
Speaker 1: say anything about that song for another two or three months,
Speaker 1: but telling me you wrote a hit record and then
Speaker 1: went to Disneyland, Yeah, like the commercial. Yeah, okay, but
Speaker 1: at the time Hernie started writing song I got Harvest
Speaker 1: for the World and you at your best, um, and
Speaker 1: make me say it again, the song I'm Not Now,
Speaker 1: and on and on and on. You know, I wrote
Speaker 1: a lot of songs at the beginning before he got
Speaker 1: into the group, the ter thing and shout and all
Speaker 1: that type, you know, work to do. Yeah, now this
Speaker 1: is something that um that I got. I got explained
Speaker 1: to the other day. Um. People said that, you know,
Speaker 1: people looked at the Beatles in a more of respect
Speaker 1: way than they looked at Elvis, because they said Elvis
Speaker 1: would like you know, like I don't want to say still,
Speaker 1: but he would take from people that wouldn't give it
Speaker 1: the credit as opposed to the Beatles, but the Beatles
Speaker 1: would your situation with the Beatles with shout was, how
Speaker 1: was that experience? Well, when we went to England, they
Speaker 1: were imitating us. They were like doing about the Beatles
Speaker 1: or everybody was and they you know, Paul McCartney will
Speaker 1: tell you today you know what to say if it
Speaker 1: don't be for the Eyes brothers, and we would still
Speaker 1: be in Liverpool, you know. Yeah, I'm assuming Liverpool is
Speaker 1: the hood and ye and England. Yes, that's when he
Speaker 1: started off clubs and stuff. They're in Liverpool, yell. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that so all right? So they want to cover your song, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: so at the time, I'm assuming there's not a lot
Speaker 1: of videos. There's not so, but do you know the
Speaker 1: Beatles as white people when they when it comes to
Speaker 1: you when we were over there every day, the Rolling Stones,
Speaker 1: Beetles and us was together at night. They were talking
Speaker 1: about staying at the house when they come to to
Speaker 1: New York City. They were asking questions like does James
Speaker 1: Brown had to have a hundred pair of shoes and
Speaker 1: do we shine those shoes before we go on stage,
Speaker 1: because you guys were the rock starts to them. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh, we said all those questions. You know, there
Speaker 1: were plenty questions and game. We got a hunder passion.
Speaker 1: You call the shoes every day when you say, well,
Speaker 1: you care a lot of them. So those are the
Speaker 1: kind of questions. They can we stay at your house
Speaker 1: when we can with you guys carross to the Pole?
Speaker 1: Did wow? We promised to do all that. It was
Speaker 1: just the three brothers then. And uh, actually when they
Speaker 1: when they came to New York, there were the hottest
Speaker 1: you know, I think they first get it was at
Speaker 1: Sullivan you know, on television. Fifty thousand people look reat them,
Speaker 1: you know, wow, and so everything just went wild. Then, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. And when you guys were in London, didn't
Speaker 1: Elton John play with you guys? Yeah, the Elton Johns
Speaker 1: and I keep boarding player. That's incredible. Yeah, and and
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do that in the in the next
Speaker 1: album that we're doing it, we'll do a record together. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But he was his name Elton John back then. Elton
Speaker 1: John told us, y'all should listen to something you should
Speaker 1: vote on a hundred songs. Yeah. Yeah, we didn't listen
Speaker 1: to because he was just a hired hand at the time, right,
Speaker 1: but we were just without and uh what a week ago, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Motown thing for Barry Gordian smoking, oh yeah, and
Speaker 1: we talked about you know, and he's he's gonna do
Speaker 1: a song with us and Mariah Carey and you know
Speaker 1: all that. So Elton Is is just so talented man,
Speaker 1: He's just great song writer and his tour has done uh,
Speaker 1: just tremendous, tremendous business. Right yeah, right now, now something
Speaker 1: I was uh asking, This is something I question. I
Speaker 1: actually don't know. Some people call motown and they when
Speaker 1: they say motown, they say that label. But then some
Speaker 1: people say motown and they say the style of music.
Speaker 1: How do you look when you hit the word motown. Well,
Speaker 1: they're actually one of the greatest companies. We learned so
Speaker 1: much when we went there. We went there out there,
Speaker 1: we had did Twisted, Shout and Shout and some other records,
Speaker 1: and we had a pretty big name. And our first
Speaker 1: record there was this so Heart of Mine. That's the
Speaker 1: first release went out there. A week I called Berry
Speaker 1: guarded up saying I'm coming. We're coming to send send
Speaker 1: three tickets. We'll be out there and and he said, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: you know I thought that's where it was done. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we went out there and we heard, we heard with
Speaker 1: the Holland Indulger and uh. One of the songs that
Speaker 1: we did and we picked was this art of Mine
Speaker 1: and it came out because we we're gonna be out
Speaker 1: there playing some club. Anyway, they wanted to release a record,
Speaker 1: you know, something new on us, and they put that
Speaker 1: out hands a demo. We're not gonna just went about
Speaker 1: number one record. Yeah, just so long and right. That
Speaker 1: was the record they asked us to do at the
Speaker 1: at the show. You know, so being number one at
Speaker 1: that time, Um, all the time and travel and traveling
Speaker 1: like was there toll buses? How was it? How? How
Speaker 1: did your travel? Stevie wonder what was coming across the
Speaker 1: street and then cars was going. We're talking about what
Speaker 1: somebody had stories, stories, get crazy crazy. Shock said he
Speaker 1: wanted the elevator with Stevie. He was just him Stevie.
Speaker 1: So you're telling me Stevie. One of course the street
Speaker 1: by myself, man gonna get America. Did he know he
Speaker 1: was crossing the free I didn't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was holy shit, I was you know, I was
Speaker 1: trying to visit. No, no, no, none of that. No no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no walking stick, none of that. He just wore, Holy man.
Speaker 1: Hold we're shining in the cab. We got in the cabin,
Speaker 1: pulled up to the company and said, charge it to Motown. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's it, we did, say, got on to me. You
Speaker 1: told the cap changed to Motown from Marathon. We pulled
Speaker 1: up in front of the company, said ya, I don't
Speaker 1: know what the meter said, but he said, charge of
Speaker 1: the motown. Wow. What was that? How powerful motile was that?
Speaker 1: I don't know if they knew they were so oh,
Speaker 1: let me ask you. Right, one thing is like, what's
Speaker 1: happening at this time was segregation? Right? Well, one thing
Speaker 1: I won't telling you. When I wrote the song it's
Speaker 1: your thing. They very guardin't them sued us. That's the
Speaker 1: first time they got sued. He sued us because they
Speaker 1: thought that holland indulgence. Some of their writers said, bro,
Speaker 1: you know, so we back and forth you know that
Speaker 1: with the court, and we wind up winning. You know,
Speaker 1: but that that was one of the the things that
Speaker 1: really hurt us, you know, your own kind because yeah,
Speaker 1: because he didn't believe or that song is super big,
Speaker 1: like y'all couldn't have wrote it. Yeah, And from that
Speaker 1: time on, you know, I guess we did every song
Speaker 1: that you you hear, you know, the majority of songs
Speaker 1: that you hear, and it's successful by the highest of brothers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: h oh. Yes. We started Tea Neck Records with this
Speaker 1: your thing, okay, Yeah, and you know we learned what
Speaker 1: we were doing out there Motown and what they were doing. Uh,
Speaker 1: that was it. You know, we figured, uh, that was
Speaker 1: the way to go. And it turned out here we
Speaker 1: could release what we wanted to release when we wanted
Speaker 1: to release it. And then we then we started doing
Speaker 1: our own tours. When indy that's a debate we have
Speaker 1: here versus being independent. I mean Motown they were at
Speaker 1: the time, you know they were, Yeah, it was an
Speaker 1: indie that that had major But we talked about the
Speaker 1: debate where there's major label versus independent. And I'm always
Speaker 1: saying independent owning your stuff, that's the way to go,
Speaker 1: right versus the mayne give me the money. I don't
Speaker 1: want to work that hard. You got the money, go
Speaker 1: independent from Motown and you took what you learned and
Speaker 1: you put it to work. That's correct. And the record
Speaker 1: that we have about now on the album we haven't
Speaker 1: out now it is independent. Wow. Um, this is just
Speaker 1: something I was trying to say earlier because I think
Speaker 1: I've seen footage of you guys at Sam Cook one day,
Speaker 1: and I think that what they were saying was they
Speaker 1: wouldn't let the brothers or the brothers and assistants on
Speaker 1: one side of the club. So you and Sam Cook,
Speaker 1: I think y'all got on the bus and then left.
Speaker 1: Oh I don't know about that. I think that, but
Speaker 1: that's happened with someone else, Okay, but Sam Cook, I
Speaker 1: think that happened with Jackie Wilson, Okay, okay, on the
Speaker 1: two together. Yeah. So so what how how hard was
Speaker 1: that back then because like, like you know, there was
Speaker 1: a segregation, like how could you perform? You know, it
Speaker 1: was very hard, but you know, ruarde young after age,
Speaker 1: we didn't really understand it. You know, we didn't understand
Speaker 1: that somebody would kill you or somebody you know, you know,
Speaker 1: we always start run. You know, how old were you guys?
Speaker 1: Exactly around I was abound eighteen, you know, kids yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: damn man, seventeen eighteen on the road. And that had
Speaker 1: to be like a crazy because all the times that
Speaker 1: black people were going through, and then people taking political
Speaker 1: stances like Muhammad Ali and things like that, and then
Speaker 1: and then Sam Cook and then like all these people
Speaker 1: like I just always you know, it was crazy back then.
Speaker 1: We didn't have television to get out of our message
Speaker 1: or Sam Cook, you stopped them. It's like, give me
Speaker 1: your ticket, don't you know? Wow, If you don't gonna
Speaker 1: give me a ticket, put the chicken on. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm saying Cook I said, was saying, yeah, he cleared,
Speaker 1: he cleared. Woman. Oh my god, man, I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: Wasn't taking anything off anyone. So that's probably one of
Speaker 1: you know, wow. But after you guys decided to go independent,
Speaker 1: you did go with major neighbors later on, Yeah, what
Speaker 1: what what was those distributions for distributions so still owning
Speaker 1: taking advantage of the machine at that point. That's all right, right, right,
Speaker 1: that's all right because there were so many cases of
Speaker 1: like people being taking an advantage of and and that time,
Speaker 1: was that something you guys ever experienced? Yeah, well, you know,
Speaker 1: I think Philadelphia International was was going then and then
Speaker 1: later on Curtis Mayfield and this company out of Chicago.
Speaker 1: It's going then movetown and our company, you know, and
Speaker 1: Stacks came a little later. Now, let's let's address this.

Speaker 1: I gotta say, Jimmy Hendricks, Hey, y'all doing this practice? Jimmy.
Speaker 1: You know. I met Jimmie Hendricks after my brothers hired him.
Speaker 1: I was eleven years old. And uh, after the Beatles
Speaker 1: did that first show on as Sullivan not too long
Speaker 1: after that, my brother Kelly brothers had a meeting and uh,
Speaker 1: he said, uh, these guys from Britain, it's Beatles things.
Speaker 1: There's no hype, this is real. They got two guitar players,
Speaker 1: but we got Jimmy. And that was just the way
Speaker 1: he said. It looked over Jimmy when he said that,
Speaker 1: and Jimmy was grinning ear to eat. So I imagine
Speaker 1: if Jimmy had been around when that lady came out,
Speaker 1: he would have given me something between a bear hug
Speaker 1: and the tackle and say, how did you ever learn
Speaker 1: how to do that? And one he was in the
Speaker 1: dining room, man he was in the dining room plan,
Speaker 1: you was in the living room plan. I was listening that, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: it was so great eating Santana. Hold on, what did
Speaker 1: you just say? You just said the good say did
Speaker 1: you just say they got two good tall players? But
Speaker 1: we m Jimmy and that was right? That was right,
Speaker 1: h Santana would say, crazy, yeah, but yeah, and I'm
Speaker 1: crazy about Carlos too. Yeah, he's fabulous musician. Is there
Speaker 1: any truth that Jimmy didn't know how to write the music?
Speaker 1: You know? I don't know if Jimmy knew he was
Speaker 1: that they're good, because every day he walked around where
Speaker 1: they had a guitar or not a stick in his hand,
Speaker 1: just stick. I see you still walked in with a
Speaker 1: gut tar just now, yeah, well have to do that.
Speaker 1: Come on, It's like that's uh, it's another link for you.
Speaker 1: Great sense of contentment and emotional security. Uh, crazy about
Speaker 1: the instrument. Wow, that's commitment to the crowd. A lie um.
Speaker 1: I so enjoy when you walked in with the guitar,
Speaker 1: because I was like, yes, it's like it's like you
Speaker 1: want to see for the guitar. You want to see Santana.
Speaker 1: And then you see you walk into them like he
Speaker 1: did it. I'll be I want to see my heroes
Speaker 1: with their caps on, you know what I mean. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I want to ansk one question, Yes, please, How did
Speaker 1: you guys come up with this show? Man? It shows
Speaker 1: so great? We we were getting drunk about the studio
Speaker 1: and he would play poker and I would recall it
Speaker 1: records and we would come out the end of the
Speaker 1: night and we would just see, um, who would who
Speaker 1: would be lasted and we would call them drink champs.
Speaker 1: But beyond that, really what the show was about was
Speaker 1: us being disgusted when people, you know, have you know,
Speaker 1: this longevity in the game. And then in our culture
Speaker 1: they have this word called washed up. And I hate
Speaker 1: this word because that doesn't exist in no other culture.
Speaker 1: No other culture says, well they're washed up and roller
Speaker 1: stones and you know these guys what these guys what
Speaker 1: they kiss when they face they go on tour forever
Speaker 1: and they talus it's don't change and everything. No, nobody
Speaker 1: don't even care. Like but you know, and their culture
Speaker 1: they can do that, Like why we can't do that
Speaker 1: in our culture and not imitate them. We be who
Speaker 1: we are and that's what I wanted to do. I
Speaker 1: wanted to praise, you know, people such as yourself, because
Speaker 1: you guys deserve to be praised and believe it or not,
Speaker 1: shit Without y'all guys, music, y'all foundation, this show doesn't exist.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying him? Oh yeah, if you
Speaker 1: don't give me my shot though, right, him as a
Speaker 1: DJ doesn't exist, me as an artist and doesn't exist.
Speaker 1: And then us forming this platform together. Um, that's total amateurs.
Speaker 1: By the way. It was just us wanting to have
Speaker 1: conversations with icons and legends and our peers and get
Speaker 1: these stories that we might have heard backstage or or
Speaker 1: in the studio, but nobody else was hearing them. And
Speaker 1: I agree with you being amateursts as far as media
Speaker 1: and journalism go. But we were at amateurs right right
Speaker 1: as far as fans and knowing the coach and knowing
Speaker 1: how important people are and knowing that it takes nothing
Speaker 1: away for me to praise you and tell you how
Speaker 1: great great you guys are to your face, face to face,
Speaker 1: man to man. It takes nothing away from me. In fact,
Speaker 1: it get ads on to me because it makes me
Speaker 1: a better man, because I know where I came from
Speaker 1: I know really yeah, I feel like I feel good
Speaker 1: about that to make a shot. Drink that drink that
Speaker 1: major label shot. You're gonna make sure I take that, okay,
Speaker 1: all right? Cool? Um oh, I like this one ice

Speaker 1: it like I'm I don't look at like go and
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's that's a blessing, yoll dress a blessing.
Speaker 1: Like like for let me ask you, what was your
Speaker 1: first taste of someone doing a cover of your music?
Speaker 1: Was it, I mean, as big as it got? Was it?
Speaker 1: The Beatles? Uh? The shout? Uh? What's covered by What's
Speaker 1: the Girl. Joey d In The Starliners did a whole
Speaker 1: a version of Shout back in the around nineteen sixty
Speaker 1: one or so, and I remember watching the show that
Speaker 1: Joy d and the Starlights on the same show A
Speaker 1: Star and She Brothers and the Osley Brothers were closing
Speaker 1: this show with Shout and enjoy ding. The Starlighters had
Speaker 1: Outshout and they were doing it in front of its like,
Speaker 1: but the audience was still more so with the isles.
Speaker 1: When then Kelly Rudolf and did it so well Lulu
Speaker 1: had a number version and the number one record of England. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the first record we ruled that had a
Speaker 1: cover we wrote. I wrote another song called Nobody with
Speaker 1: Me and it was the number one song went to
Speaker 1: Human Beings and they played out at the Super Bowl too,
Speaker 1: you know. So that was the first cover shout Nobody
Speaker 1: with Me. But that was the first songs I wrote,
Speaker 1: you know, the first songs. And at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the of a legacy that's being covered and covered and
Speaker 1: it goes on the next I wrote that the guy
Speaker 1: wanted to give us half of it. The song was
Speaker 1: a twisting shot and we said no, you're going and
Speaker 1: you keep that, you know, not knowing that it would
Speaker 1: be the monster monster later? You know that was that
Speaker 1: considered rock and roll or doop? What was that consider
Speaker 1: at that time? Well, little Richard was doing a good God,
Speaker 1: miss Molly, you know little rock and roll here the
Speaker 1: beginning of rock and roll. Yeah, him and Chuck Berry.
Speaker 1: Yeah so so so y'all wasn't considered rock and rollers
Speaker 1: considered no, I think, and I don't think that was
Speaker 1: slaying on b. Then. We didn't even have a name
Speaker 1: for the Johan. It was just dope. It was just fine.
Speaker 1: They called it rock and roll, but you know that good?
Speaker 1: But uh, I don't I don't remember them all in
Speaker 1: songs R and B R right, ligand and blues but
Speaker 1: like do you like the term from R and B
Speaker 1: or I don't care what term they called as the
Speaker 1: baby making as long as they played and music gets
Speaker 1: music man, music gets music man. Uh. They kind of
Speaker 1: put it put it in categorious, you know, and box it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, and box you in with it. Right. But
Speaker 1: the Lord has we know why our blessing come from.
Speaker 1: This is Jesus christy you know? So um, because like
Speaker 1: when I used to make music. People just come up
Speaker 1: to me and be like I did. I went to
Speaker 1: jail for your ship. I realized I didn't want me
Speaker 1: to say it, but I was like, what would you
Speaker 1: want me to do? Yeah, exact, because your music is different.
Speaker 1: It wasn't right, it wasn't right right, But come up
Speaker 1: to y'all gotta be like I had a baby because
Speaker 1: of you? How how how how how beautiful is that?
Speaker 1: Because it makes you really really feel good, really feel
Speaker 1: good all the use Oh you did right? Yeah? Sometimes
Speaker 1: they I've had guys come up to me and say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I love y'all's music, but I got in trouble because
Speaker 1: of y'all. Know what you're talking about? Because I put
Speaker 1: that song don't say good night yeah, over and over again.
Speaker 1: I want to see see what you like liking big
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my good you gotta be a saving
Speaker 1: can be a stalker, gonna take that song different. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's very true. Don't think right now. We our music
Speaker 1: has UH. It has a lot of romance in it,
Speaker 1: and it was one of the probably our catalogs wanted
Speaker 1: to go to catalogs when it comes to UH, men
Speaker 1: and women being together in the intimate fashion and date whatever,
Speaker 1: which is a wonderful thing. It was crazy because I
Speaker 1: always used to say this, two genres of music that
Speaker 1: you can play loud and no one will ever get offended.
Speaker 1: And at first I thought it was just uh, reggae
Speaker 1: and salsa. But this past a couple of months, me
Speaker 1: knowing that I had y'all book, I kept playing y'all
Speaker 1: music loud as hell and in front of the white
Speaker 1: folks and no one can playing And I said, but
Speaker 1: then I said, it's Isley Broughs, the own genre of music.
Speaker 1: Do y'all prolong South, because that's that's really he ever
Speaker 1: been on the Caribbean, the island and they playing at
Speaker 1: the Calypso when they playing, no one's offended by the
Speaker 1: words no one. And then if you go to like
Speaker 1: la I'm gonna half part the weekend and you play
Speaker 1: certain and then and then I just realized it was
Speaker 1: also your music. You can play it woud. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about like, you know, the levels of the people like
Speaker 1: they don't do that with y'all ship and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's really baby making music. It's not offensive. Fact, did
Speaker 1: y'all did y'all know that? I know that now you know,
Speaker 1: we'd be something. We'd be somewhere on the island I
Speaker 1: remember not too long ago, and it's live band hits. Wow. Wow,
Speaker 1: you know we should where over here and then where
Speaker 1: over they hell land something you can hear it like
Speaker 1: loud and clear, Like that's wonderful, wonderful to have something
Speaker 1: like that happened. What's one thing that that that you
Speaker 1: regret not taking advantage of in this game? If anything?
Speaker 1: If any say that again, one thing that you regret
Speaker 1: not taking advantage of, Like is there an opportunity you
Speaker 1: let pass by that you should have, like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: are to have a core unions like I get back
Speaker 1: with you. Oh I remember, uh the House the Um
Speaker 1: Blues Brothers they are. They wanted us to perform in
Speaker 1: that movie r White Guys Blues brother you know, and
Speaker 1: and and then we turned it down and they use
Speaker 1: another groups. Uh let me take with someone else. I
Speaker 1: would kind of regret that. And and they wanted wanted
Speaker 1: to use one of our records and uh uh the
Speaker 1: movie he uh ninety the ninety Oh yeah, the Beach's
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Fever. They wanted to use tell Me When
Speaker 1: You Need It again from the goal for your guns
Speaker 1: job and now but you are hallm um, hallm uh
Speaker 1: the golf Father, right you You ain't that right now?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah? Oh yeah yeah yeah. The Blues Brothers. Yeah
Speaker 1: you came back home. Oh man, I'm so excited. Man.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you generationally the decade wise, is
Speaker 1: there a decade that stands out to you musically that
Speaker 1: that you feel like it was just for you guys?
Speaker 1: This was where you guys were hip hop inspired the
Speaker 1: most nineties right hip hop only. I'm saying that, like
Speaker 1: any decade out of your whole career, is there any
Speaker 1: decade that you feel or time frame that you feel
Speaker 1: this was the most inspirational for whatever was happening at
Speaker 1: the time or for you guys personally? I would I
Speaker 1: would say, uh, the decade that all of us was together,
Speaker 1: all the brothers that were together, you know, and after
Speaker 1: after h my one, my oldest brother passed, it became
Speaker 1: very difficult and for me, uh, but the fun, the real, real,
Speaker 1: real fun was when everyone was together. Everyone's together, we're
Speaker 1: all together, and take something else. I thought that the
Speaker 1: music that we were doing, um, it might have been
Speaker 1: starting from like work to do well actually started from
Speaker 1: it's your thing. I've from It's your Thing to like
Speaker 1: between the Sheets and eighty three sixty nine to eighty three,
Speaker 1: I thought, especially when we got three plus three going forward,
Speaker 1: those albums were double platinum and that Lady Fighter Power
Speaker 1: take Me to the next phase whatever, I thought, they
Speaker 1: would have been bigger wow. But by way of technology
Speaker 1: and when they went into the MTV hip hop rap,
Speaker 1: those songs came back to us in a way I
Speaker 1: would have never imagined, so that I love it when
Speaker 1: you're calling me a big pop or today was a
Speaker 1: good day. I didn't have to use my AK or
Speaker 1: see you went to crossroads and that was to make
Speaker 1: me say it again. Those songs came back in a
Speaker 1: way that I would have never imagined, so that Okay,
Speaker 1: we may have done double platinum as the Eyes Brothers,
Speaker 1: but if when you put all the other stuff on top,
Speaker 1: it was probably like four or five million, you know
Speaker 1: sales per album because of those songs, and um, because
Speaker 1: they say that that you know albums are you talking
Speaker 1: about her? Are now are three million? You know? Three
Speaker 1: plus three lifted up Heat is on Harvest of the World. Yeah,
Speaker 1: go count it all up, go for your guys show down.
Speaker 1: But he owns all the way. Yeah, he doesn't had
Speaker 1: fight the power for the love of you. Uh, and
Speaker 1: make Me Say It Again girl. They had the slow side,
Speaker 1: which at that time was you mean, they got a
Speaker 1: jam side. But you flipped this record over and it's
Speaker 1: all slow songs and people were just in the game time.
Speaker 1: Just flipped the record over and you for the love
Speaker 1: of you, you know, followed by sensuality, followed by make
Speaker 1: Me Say the Again. Girls. A great, great record, win
Speaker 1: number one, first number one album for us. And listen,
Speaker 1: this was all motel though. This was no this was eyesless,
Speaker 1: this teenack. You know. Remember they went indie quick, don't
Speaker 1: get in twisted? You still waiting for your major label
Speaker 1: shot check oly shit man, oh hold on. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick breakcause I'm gonna use a bathroom. Girl,
Speaker 1: I use the bathroom. I'm god, okay, you gotta use
Speaker 1: a bath ho finally take a bathroom break. That killer
Speaker 1: all right, So listen, we're gonna wrap up this quick
Speaker 1: time with slime. You got a couple more questions. Um,
Speaker 1: analog or digital? M h wow, both of them. I
Speaker 1: think in some ways the analog may have a warmer sound. Uh,
Speaker 1: Digital may have a somewhat clearer cleaner, right, cleaner is
Speaker 1: that that's not always good? No, he's so clean, right,
Speaker 1: it's not always So you're going analog. If you're going analog,
Speaker 1: take a shot for that. It's your thing. But I
Speaker 1: love analog. I love the rails when you had to
Speaker 1: walk around with the reels and it felt like he
Speaker 1: was hard human being and like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like I love because that's the dirty sound came out
Speaker 1: like when but digital it's almost like it's clean before
Speaker 1: the evening, like you know what I mean, Like you guys,
Speaker 1: I love that. We mentioned on Drink Chance but DJ
Speaker 1: Quick he had he did an interview, um I think
Speaker 1: with Televequali and he mentioned that he felt an analog
Speaker 1: picked up the energy from the room. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: agree with that. Keller used to put a nickel on
Speaker 1: uh turntable to get that. That's that DJ ship. Let's
Speaker 1: all right, soul training or American band standing. So you're
Speaker 1: saying so strange too, I'm good. I'm with the Mike
Speaker 1: Tyson or Ali Ali. We haven't drank, drank that's the
Speaker 1: last one you got. We got the last one. This
Speaker 1: is the last one. Gotta do the last one, the
Speaker 1: last one that everyone thinks this is everyone thinks the
Speaker 1: whole game is a trick question, but it kind of is,
Speaker 1: but it isn't. It's always meant to let let the
Speaker 1: artists loosen up. You know. We do this game to
Speaker 1: let the artists loosen up so they can start saying things.
Speaker 1: But pay homage that we're talking about. But really, this
Speaker 1: is the only to me, it's not a trick question.
Speaker 1: That that is a trick question. It's the last one.
Speaker 1: It's loyalty or respect. Loyalty is gonna have respect in it,
Speaker 1: and respects you're gonna have loyalty in it. That's what.
Speaker 1: We can't really separate the two. They'll be they'll be together.
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're intertwined. You know, if you have respect,
Speaker 1: you're going to have loyalty. And how can you have loyalty? Whatever?
Speaker 1: Was having respect? That's perfect. Wait, there's two people here, Okay,
Speaker 1: well I don't I don't use that same man. Ok
Speaker 1: We gotta drink. Okay, so let me get this, mamma,
Speaker 1: So you're ready with it's lined up because we just
Speaker 1: want to play, y'all. Some of that hit records that
Speaker 1: y'allre responsible for indirectly, and we just want to jam
Speaker 1: out a little bit with y'all a little bit. Yes,
Speaker 1: there's no person on earth. I've never met him, and
Speaker 1: I don't think these persons, this person exists that don't
Speaker 1: respect to Isasley brothers and don't respect what you guys
Speaker 1: have laid down musically, with integrity, with morals. We're having class. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm so honored man, to have you guys in our presence,
Speaker 1: to have you guys here. Um, it's it's an honor.
Speaker 1: Like you know, I'm trying to look for a word
Speaker 1: that's better than honor, and I just keep thinking honorable.
Speaker 1: But because my vocabulary is not that great, but my
Speaker 1: heart is. And I want to really tell y'all, man,
Speaker 1: you really birth a whole generation of hip hop ers,
Speaker 1: people lovers of of great people that's responsible for you
Speaker 1: as their parents, you know, because sometimes you musically people parents.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you sometimes people don't have their their parents at
Speaker 1: the household, and you know what they do, They go
Speaker 1: put it in that cassette. You know, I'm old enough
Speaker 1: to know about the tape of that and the aid
Speaker 1: that and you know the CD player like just some
Speaker 1: of these kids you put out a CD player like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, and I'm talking about and you know,
Speaker 1: you are a lot of people's parents, and we want
Speaker 1: to respect that and we want to salute you face
Speaker 1: to face, man and man out of eye because a
Speaker 1: lot of people tell you how great you are when
Speaker 1: you're not around, and then when you're around, they want
Speaker 1: to be in competition with you. All gave you five
Speaker 1: or a hard way or something like that. And we
Speaker 1: want to tell y'all, man, that's not what we all
Speaker 1: over here, where we over here, it's people. We want
Speaker 1: to show you respect. We want to show you love,
Speaker 1: and we will show you gratitude, loyalty and everything because you,
Speaker 1: guys truly deserve it. You are what I think about
Speaker 1: when I think about legends, icons and you know, kings,
Speaker 1: the epitome of what epitome artists. Let me listen make
Speaker 1: some noise for that. Let me let me say something
Speaker 1: like I often say, like, if you really into into music,
Speaker 1: into culture and all this stuff, like it's okay not
Speaker 1: to know because people forget, Oh you don't know the history,
Speaker 1: you don't know this a younger generation or even ourselves,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's okay not to know. But what I
Speaker 1: toold it was not okay not to want to know,
Speaker 1: you know, not to want to as a DJ digging
Speaker 1: the crates. So when I would hear a sample and
Speaker 1: I realized, oh, this is a sample, My job now
Speaker 1: as a lover of music is where is this sample from?
Speaker 1: And that's what I would always tell a younger generation, like,
Speaker 1: it's not okay not to want to know. Don't be
Speaker 1: ignorant to the history of what you're into. Right. But
Speaker 1: but when we were talking really quick before and and
Speaker 1: I think we can't get out of here. We're talking
Speaker 1: about we're talking about one particular one was Contagious, because
Speaker 1: Contentious had one hundred and nineteen million has the has
Speaker 1: excuse me, a has that? You know that means motherfucker's
Speaker 1: washing contagious that don't know the language. They are sitting
Speaker 1: there like, how does it feel to have a record
Speaker 1: that's big like that? Well, you know, in our show
Speaker 1: we use we bring out furniture, were trying to bring
Speaker 1: out a whole set, a whole house. The dude songs
Speaker 1: like Busted and Contagious and that's my next question busted yes,
Speaker 1: and you know, and the audience now if you on
Speaker 1: on on your your phone, your your cell phone. They
Speaker 1: have so many people doing busted. But you know, TikTok
Speaker 1: on TikTok. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing, and that's
Speaker 1: a that's a one of the important parts of our
Speaker 1: show every night, every night. You know, and uh, download

Speaker 1: of the first video that we took. We were here
Speaker 1: four days to do it was right, hi queen okay,
Speaker 1: and that was that was one of the great videos
Speaker 1: at the time, Mark Kelly. They did I guess the
Speaker 1: problems that started, but if you go back and look
Speaker 1: at that video, that has to be one of the
Speaker 1: great greatest filp hop videos. So I would like to say, yeah, please,
Speaker 1: Mark Kelly is one of the greatest, greatest producer writers
Speaker 1: that we have. You know. Uh, we didn't keep up
Speaker 1: with what he did, right. He was always a gentleman
Speaker 1: with us. Right. It was you could only speak on
Speaker 1: what you were dealing with your right and um and
Speaker 1: everybody knew, like you said, you guys are classic sidified. Um.
Speaker 1: You know everyone knows that man, You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you addressed that I'm glad you addressed
Speaker 1: it direct on because unless people know that there's nothing
Speaker 1: the hottest. Everything was straight up and that's a beautiful thing. Um,
Speaker 1: you guys are legends. Man. You guys kept y'all, y'all
Speaker 1: your name so squeaky clean and kept it and kept
Speaker 1: it with integrity, and it's something that it's something that like,
Speaker 1: like I said, I want to m you know, always
Speaker 1: salute and I want to always commend because, um, you
Speaker 1: guys do a luxurious career consistency and quality that is
Speaker 1: hard to maintain. Do you see how many people have
Speaker 1: one hit and one one they can't make it hard
Speaker 1: to get one is super hard to get. But then
Speaker 1: they can't last. They can't last a year and a half.
Speaker 1: That's a long time. Already they're back working at Pigny Whiggly.
Speaker 1: I went too far career, but it's it's really like
Speaker 1: it's real when you have a hit, alright, one hit
Speaker 1: record to maintain that and you guys got I mean
Speaker 1: thirty years more than thirty years more than you got
Speaker 1: thirty two albums. I'm some about thirty two albums. Like
Speaker 1: I've looked at DJ college the other day. I think
Speaker 1: DJ college he's gone harder, he's thirteen. He's not even happen,
Speaker 1: not even half. And to be clear, you guys are
Speaker 1: usually writing the vocals and the music as well, and
Speaker 1: that is the most incredible part this because try to
Speaker 1: maintain what they're doing doing that, right, You could easily
Speaker 1: be a vocalist and have producers. You could easily be
Speaker 1: a vocalist and have writers writing your vocals and have producers.
Speaker 1: They are writing the music and the vocals and performing.
Speaker 1: You're right, that is incredible, That's super incredible. What do
Speaker 1: you guys like better writing the music or performing the music?
Speaker 1: The vote that the thing is is like we bounce, right,
Speaker 1: a lot of different ideas, always off of each other,
Speaker 1: consciously unconsciously, and so like when you come up with
Speaker 1: an idea, then you present it and it's bounced off
Speaker 1: the vocal part and that bounces back to the writing
Speaker 1: part of the musical parts. And you know, you you
Speaker 1: really we really don't do one without doing the other,
Speaker 1: but being conscious of the other. You know, so that um,
Speaker 1: as you load the gun, you want to shoot it. Hey,
Speaker 1: you know says that say like footsteps in the dark.
Speaker 1: When it was first recorded drums, bass one keyboard and
Speaker 1: one guitar, okay, And the first song that was performed
Speaker 1: vocally Footsteps in the Dark. And once the vocal went
Speaker 1: on and the other vocals went on, then you can
Speaker 1: hear the other musical parts to be added to it.
Speaker 1: And by the time you finished with it, it's like
Speaker 1: glorious technicolor and you have you know, you have the lyric,
Speaker 1: you have the harmonies, you know, you have all the
Speaker 1: things that make up a record. By the time you finish.
Speaker 1: You don't necessarily have that when you begin, you just
Speaker 1: at the beginning. So that yeah, so by the time
Speaker 1: we get to, like the song is finish, it's like, man,
Speaker 1: that bad points out of here, you know, for us
Speaker 1: to know that before it comes out. So that's sort
Speaker 1: of like the way that goes. So let me ask
Speaker 1: you one more, right, and this is this is this
Speaker 1: is like going for it right because I'm gonna help
Speaker 1: you out just now. I help you out with this
Speaker 1: one because I go through this and I only got
Speaker 1: twenty twenty years. Right. But every now and then the
Speaker 1: person samples my record, I don't like it, okay, sampling
Speaker 1: it or just they're just doing it over the instrumental
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I don't like it. You need to be
Speaker 1: like somebody, do you like everybody who covers your record
Speaker 1: or has no you're right, you're right. We turned down
Speaker 1: things all the time. You know. Sometimes the lyrics are really, really,
Speaker 1: really bad. We said, I don't fit with you know, right,
Speaker 1: you know? Yeah, you know this funny thing that no
Speaker 1: one never ever talked about the songs that don't make it,
Speaker 1: mostly these songs and we're talking about now hits. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but how many you know how many hits? Was it
Speaker 1: didn't make it? You know, well, for whatever reason, you know,
Speaker 1: they didn't get played or the promotion wasn't right or something.
Speaker 1: Give me for the ones that you actually clear, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they didn't make it. It's we have albums that did.
Speaker 1: We try to say, now, uh, the album I did
Speaker 1: with Burt back right, is one of the best albums
Speaker 1: I did. And you know, the record come defolded. Oh
Speaker 1: you're talking about your own records, yeah right, but yeah,
Speaker 1: the record company folded when we released the record, you know,
Speaker 1: and that was one of the reasons the record didn't
Speaker 1: get the chance to do. Yeah, and you can't take
Speaker 1: that record now. And we tried to buy the record
Speaker 1: back and they're either they pressed up four hundred thousand,
Speaker 1: and they sold the four hundred thousand and then stopped, Well, damn,
Speaker 1: you're winning gold and today's to end it. That's pretty good. Well,
Speaker 1: they stopped. If I'm gonna go one of old y'all,
Speaker 1: that's amazing that. You know, we don't know where that
Speaker 1: record will wind up, even even after I'm gone, you know, right,
Speaker 1: you know that's that's a funny thing about record st
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be some hits that we didn't
Speaker 1: know about. You know, my brother wrote a song, uh,
Speaker 1: I think one of his first songs, my youngest brother.
Speaker 1: Uh and he and he and he wrote the song,
Speaker 1: and uh, someone in England did it, and then they
Speaker 1: talking about this song is the best friend, the best
Speaker 1: record in the world, you know. And that was his
Speaker 1: first record as a kid. You know, you walk your way,
Speaker 1: I walk mine. You know. Yeah, it didn't get a
Speaker 1: Whitney Heuston story or no, we didn't get one year
Speaker 1: and we're supposed to play the Whitney he used the
Speaker 1: record Whitney Houston story. Oh I can tell you, okay,
Speaker 1: I was in Las Vegas. We ran in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're drinking, but you loosening it up.
Speaker 1: It's a La Vegas in Las Vegas, right the MGM Hotel.
Speaker 1: And I was at a bank of elevators and I
Speaker 1: came out and this guy grabbed me and gave me
Speaker 1: a bear hug. I couldn't see who it was, but
Speaker 1: when he pushed back, it's Bobby Brown. You're giving us
Speaker 1: a two of one. You know it was Bobby. It
Speaker 1: was Bobby Brown. And after he pushed back, he said,
Speaker 1: oh man, Ernie Man, I love y'all. Man loved the
Speaker 1: way he played blah blah blah blah blah, you know,
Speaker 1: and he pushed back. And when he did that, Whitney
Speaker 1: Houston and we embraced. We got different stories night, man,
Speaker 1: I just said. I just said to her, Whitney Houston,
Speaker 1: with you girl like that, You're a champion. That's all
Speaker 1: I can say to her. You're a champion. And she
Speaker 1: starts smiling. They got in the elevator and you're a champion, girl.
Speaker 1: Don't forget that you are a champion. You're a champion.
Speaker 1: That's the last thing I said to her. And then
Speaker 1: now we have different stories with you know, different different eras.
Speaker 1: Whitney Houston with me goes back to England and everything
Speaker 1: every with a mother and the whole nod you know, wow,
Speaker 1: And so the records to get perfect, She's perfect, perfect

Speaker 1: Yeah she did. She recorded for the Love of You also, Bob.
Speaker 1: You know, man, guy's got such a beautiful history, a
Speaker 1: beautiful family and we're not even touching the surface of
Speaker 1: how much history here is here? Yeah. Yeah, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you like this is we need days of
Speaker 1: a podcast. I'll tell your story, yes, please, and keep
Speaker 1: drinking that shit. Sorry? Is that my mother's house? And uh,
Speaker 1: the door opened and it was Wrongald, and he said,
Speaker 1: I got this idea for a song. And it was
Speaker 1: me Kelly and Kelly, I she my eldest brother, and Marvin,
Speaker 1: the youngest brother. Ronald said, I got this idea for
Speaker 1: a song, So yeah, what is it? And he was
Speaker 1: st stomping his foot. It's your thing. Do what you
Speaker 1: want to do, because now I can't tell you who
Speaker 1: to sock it to stock it. He stopped. It was
Speaker 1: the first time I ever heard that any of us
Speaker 1: had heard it. And after he stopped, he said something
Speaker 1: like what y'all think, and we were all quiet, and
Speaker 1: I remember I said, I like that. You said, do
Speaker 1: what you want to do. I can't tell you who
Speaker 1: to sock it to. You didn't say sock it to me.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing Soccer told me at the time.
Speaker 1: But I never said that. He never said that. The
Speaker 1: last tracket Soccer to me. He just said, I can't
Speaker 1: tell you who to sock it to. And eventually we
Speaker 1: went to the studio and he sang the song on
Speaker 1: one take. On the first take, I gotta be asked,
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I did not know what socket too?
Speaker 1: What did it mean? What that mean? Here's somebody? Or
Speaker 1: it could be hit something or Franken did the record
Speaker 1: so oh easy, oh shit, So okay, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna learn the slang like see like that and see
Speaker 1: when you hit you. I'll always remember that the first
Speaker 1: time I heard it's your thing, it was like that.
Speaker 1: It was that raw. It was that voice came to you,
Speaker 1: came to him too, you know. He wrote the song,
Speaker 1: you know, and sang on the first time. I saying
Speaker 1: when he came to you, yea, when he came when
Speaker 1: he came back to the house and said, what do
Speaker 1: y'all think it was like? And then the next time
Speaker 1: was doing the uh you know, it was coming together
Speaker 1: with the horn parts and whether else instruments were gonna
Speaker 1: be on it. And we got to the studio and
Speaker 1: you sang the song on the first take. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean what kind of you know, like, what kind of
Speaker 1: rolling of the dice is that first take? Seven? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: you know, either you're gonna roll seven or you're not
Speaker 1: seven that song? Good God? Who m so, can you
Speaker 1: give us the record real quick? We just take a
Speaker 1: real quick we will record it. We'll be right back here.
Speaker 1: The brothers I really get. I really get goose bumps,
Speaker 1: you know, um, you know, just talking the history with
Speaker 1: your brothers. Um, I really do. I really understand my
Speaker 1: childhood more. H I understand my my adulthood more. I
Speaker 1: understand who I am in hip hop more because I
Speaker 1: was just sitting down with you, brothers, because this ya
Speaker 1: are really royalty and royalty, You're a history. You're a
Speaker 1: part of everybody's everything here, and I don't see hip
Speaker 1: hop existing without you. Brothers. You know, I don't want
Speaker 1: to see hip hop existing, but that's a good Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're just thinking about people old records we've been missing.
Speaker 1: If hip hop existed without the records that you guys made,
Speaker 1: that trickled down the hip hop, I don't think it
Speaker 1: would be the same job. Because there was resistance early
Speaker 1: on to to the people sampling in hip hop, and
Speaker 1: then the people that were saying, hey, these are the samples,
Speaker 1: you gotta pay up. The industry didn't have it together
Speaker 1: and the young thriving hip hop artists that they didn't
Speaker 1: know what they were doing. They were just doing what
Speaker 1: they were doing. So there was a clash there originally.
Speaker 1: Did you guys ever feel that clash with hip hop?
Speaker 1: You know, when I went to We're at the Grammys
Speaker 1: one time and I, uh, some some people walked up
Speaker 1: to me and said, hey, do you know Kendrick Lamar?
Speaker 1: I never heard of him, right, and he had had
Speaker 1: a couple of albums as still he was a star then,
Speaker 1: but I had never never heard of And they introduced
Speaker 1: him to me and he said, my mother was your
Speaker 1: biggest fan, and she wants me to do a song
Speaker 1: with you, he said, and she will have a fit.
Speaker 1: All right, we've talked a little bit, and my wife
Speaker 1: right right away said, you don't know who can Kenned
Speaker 1: Ricks of the Marne, And so he flew to the
Speaker 1: same to us at the time, and uh, we talked
Speaker 1: about what he was gonna do, and he had the
Speaker 1: song like who's that lady? I love myself? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I love myself. And so we talked about it and
Speaker 1: we did it, and he talked about and and I
Speaker 1: you know, listening to his album, listen to the album,
Speaker 1: and he did. Uh, he wasn't naturally wondered that the
Speaker 1: butterfly right, yeah, amazing, you know, it's just and you know,
Speaker 1: he was amazing. Came back to New York, I came
Speaker 1: back to California and the video, did the video. But
Speaker 1: he turned out to be like wow, this guy is
Speaker 1: he's he just amazing, you know, and they all love you,
Speaker 1: they all your sons. Let's just keep be clear. Let's
Speaker 1: be clear. Let's just came. I know you being humble
Speaker 1: about it, but we all under you, you boys coming
Speaker 1: into it be and they'd be like, y'all ought to
Speaker 1: be like that, y'all We all to y'all, all right,
Speaker 1: it's like it's true, but yeah, working on a new
Speaker 1: album or no, oh yeah we have this album out now,
Speaker 1: make me say it again. That's charting right now and
Speaker 1: it's like doing fantastically wonderful. You know, yeah, I like it,
Speaker 1: Like I said that. Uh, the single has been on
Speaker 1: the charts for like thirty weeks in the top five,
Speaker 1: you know, it was number one for five weeks and
Speaker 1: it's number fiver with the six seven this week. Yeah
Speaker 1: we went back major too, right, Yeah I took that
Speaker 1: major check. No remember, no independent they just using the
Speaker 1: major's now or just saying no, no, no. This is
Speaker 1: so the album is doing fantastic and amen, let me
Speaker 1: thank everybody for that, please, oh man, no man, everyone, Well,
Speaker 1: I reverse it on both of y'all. Everybody kind of
Speaker 1: need to thank y'all because, like I mean, like you know,
Speaker 1: our show is about that. But I'm not saying this
Speaker 1: to say this because y'all in my face. I'm saying
Speaker 1: this to say this because y'all deserve this. I'm saying
Speaker 1: to say this because this is real. I'm saying to
Speaker 1: say this because this is facts. You guys are icons, legends.
Speaker 1: I sincerely believe this show wouldn't exist. I believe you know,
Speaker 1: his DJ career probly wouldn't exist. My you know rap
Speaker 1: career wouldn't is this And like I said earlier, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't even want it to exist without you brothers, because
Speaker 1: it's a staple of of of of what real music is,
Speaker 1: real music is, and everything has soul in it has
Speaker 1: has has more was as composition and as opposed to
Speaker 1: what's going on right now. And I'm not distening to
Speaker 1: young brothers because I love them too. I'm just not
Speaker 1: where they at. It has no substance, it has nothing.
Speaker 1: It just these people are just talking to talk and
Speaker 1: I don't want to become that guy. All the young
Speaker 1: dudes and young music is a little crazy. But I
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. But we need substance in music.
Speaker 1: We need integrity and music. We need morals in music,
Speaker 1: and you guys are the quintessential example of that, and
Speaker 1: your brothers as well, all the brothers. Thank you for that,
Speaker 1: all the brothers. Somebody I want to ask you about
Speaker 1: Dion Warwick. Wow, however we were Wow going back to U.
Speaker 1: It's a song twisting show. We were supposed to do
Speaker 1: a song from uh Burt Backracker make it easy on yourself,
Speaker 1: and that's what we rehearsed. Uh. The words were changed
Speaker 1: to or you lonely by yourself when they were arguing
Speaker 1: about that in the studio, and so they stopped our
Speaker 1: session and Bert got mad and he walked out, and
Speaker 1: guy that was producing us walked out. So we had
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes left in the studio. So we did the
Speaker 1: B side song, which was twisted out, and we didn't
Speaker 1: hear it back because we didn't have enough time to
Speaker 1: listen to it. And so we we said, man, I
Speaker 1: did that the part who felt like that part of
Speaker 1: our career was over. Oh man, we ain't gonna have
Speaker 1: no really, you know. We walked out to the studio.
Speaker 1: They made nine or ten demos of that song and
Speaker 1: send it to Philadelphia and a disc jockey about the
Speaker 1: name of Jerry Blavett start playing it and the song
Speaker 1: went to two million keeter with That's when I had
Speaker 1: met then Wald and I talked about that on a
Speaker 1: show that we did UH with with. Bert said, look, man,
Speaker 1: I wanted to sing your type of songs, but we
Speaker 1: were left with twisted shouts. So we did and and
Speaker 1: those days when you had a hit like Shout or
Speaker 1: twist and shout. They wanted to keep you in that pocket.
Speaker 1: So you know, sing them kind of songs that have
Speaker 1: the next set as part of one two and things
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, okay, so no one would tell you
Speaker 1: to sing hello, listen to me, you know, because they
Speaker 1: didn't you. They didn't know that you could perform that
Speaker 1: the same way. But it took a couple of years
Speaker 1: to be able to fall, you know, get into those
Speaker 1: type of songs and that then we got there say
Speaker 1: now we gotta make we can do that, we can
Speaker 1: do this, we can do this, do everything. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you never felt like in a ball like where people
Speaker 1: just made you continue to do that because like I
Speaker 1: remember me doing um super tuck. I gotta had a
Speaker 1: song with Pharrell called what What What? What? What What?
Speaker 1: And they just making me wanted to do that same record,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I made that record angry. I'm
