Ci-dessous, un extrait:

How was the show tonight? How did you feel?

Me feel good. Real good vibe. Nice reception. People in Paris could sing. I enjoy that. When the people them can party, I like that.

During the 70’s, Glen Washington worked closely with Joseph Hill…

In the early days, as a matter of fact, is a mentor of mine. He was one of my mentor. The band that I was singing with, back then, the drummer was Joseph Hill.

I ended up beating the drum, because we had a whole bunch of little gigs, and didn’t have a drummer like right away. So I had to fall right in there. I ended up playing and singing. It wasn’t easy at first but then I did play the drums and sing. And I was known, back then, as a singing drummer for over 20 years.

Back then, he didn’t record any material with Joseph Hill…

Back in the days, my first recording was a song called “Suzie.” But this was after I went different ways with Joseph Hill. They had a talent contest, and I ended up being the winner of that contest. Part of the prize was to have my song recorded.

Later on, I went to Joe Gibbs Records. Joseph Hill actually took me there, and I ended up recording a song called “Rockers Nuh Crackers.” It’s a big song back in the days. It was like recorded in 1973. [...}
