My favorite moments at the Apollo, outside of the music and everything that we played, was witnessing and being apart of the Wednesday night amateur shows. You never know who’s gonna make it.

When I was about 17 years old, I did, back in that day, four shows a day, and sometimes we did five on the weekend. Fortunately I had stamina.

This is Harlem. You know it’s tough, you know what you’re getting yourself into.

I can’t think of any part of my life that’s more definitive, for me personally, than the fact that I was raised in community called Harlem… The Apollo was like a diamond in the dark spaces of Harlem.
