Verdine White Quotes
We've been blessed to be able to still make music and still perform in front of a lot of people. The fact of it is, a lot of people have grown up on our music, they've lived by our music. Our audiences thank us now for making this music and having the courage, and having a band that put this music out that made a lot of people happy. Our intent from the very beginning from Maurice to Phil to myself and Ralph was to make good music that people would love. We're proud of that.
