Sammy Hagar (Samuel Roy Hagar) Quotes
"Rock Candy" was my first record. I had never been in a studio, so I was in shock and I had no idea if it was great or if it stunk. I was just putting in my heart and soul, and closing my eyes and keeping my fingers crossed. I gave it everything.

That’s the sort of attention to detail that made the record.
