He asked me what in the world I was doing in the Marines and I told him I'd be out in a few years and was wondering if I could get another shot at a gig with him when I got out.
He showed me how to lead a band, which was something I had always wanted to do.
He told me Lou might be looking for a bass player.
I actually had a little R&B group, and Tito performed with me once.
I just got tired of the business.
I ran into Tito Jackson and told him I wanted to learn to play and he invited me to his house.
I started studying some music, trying to grow as a musician in Hollywood.
Lou came down to perform there, part of his military tour.
They were poor. Everybody was poor. They didn't even have professional instrumentation, but they were making great music - they were actually on a professional level.
They were so high in the business, I saw a lot of people trying to hang onto them, to get favors from them, and it turned me off. So I just played wherever I could around town.
When I saw them leave a black ghetto and become international superstars, in my mind there was no other way to go. That was it. I had to be a musician - that's how I got into music.
