 [The song, based on an old gospel song, was] the fusion of all the elements that till then had simply failed to coalesce, ... It was the uninhibited, altogether abandoned sound of the church; it was the keening, ecstatic voicings by which the world has come to know Ray Charles best. |
| [Thus it was that Cooke began ascribing his writing credits to L.C., who would later turn over the money to Cooke.] It may have been unethical, ... But from Sam's point of view, it was adaptive compensation. He'd been taken advantage of because of his ignorance.

He simply refused to live up to anyone else's definition or expectations of him. But I think this was part of his genius. From the start, Gate defined himself, both as a musician and as a man. |
| I guess I thought of it as an American tragedy, ... It has all the elements -- the success is larger than life, the aspirations are larger than life, and the fall from grace is equally larger than life. |
| I think Elvis was dismissed because of his popularity, |
| I thought a lot of people would dismiss the subject as trivial, ... and ... that regardless of what I achieved, the subject would be dismissed. I think I've been gratified more than anything. Whether people like the book or don't like the book, they treat the subject as worthy of discussion. |
| I wanted to write the book as far inside as possible, |
| I was trying to tell as honest and true a story as I could, ... Really, the challenge is to portray the world the person lives in, and in the first volume it was an expanding world. You can see in 'Careless Love' how constricted Elvis' world becomes. |
