Alberta Hunter Quotes

«Blues means what milk does to a baby. Blues is what the spirit is to the minister. We sing the blues because our hearts have been hurt, our souls have been disturbed.»
«I'm not living the blues; I'm just singing for the women who think they can't speak out. Can't a man alive mistreat me, 'cause I know who I am.»
«I've got the world in a jug/ The stopper's in my hand.»
«The musicians that didn't know music could play the best blues. I know that I don't want no musicians who know all about music playin' for me.»
«I'm having a good time,/ Please don't blame me,/ I'm knocking myself out/ Don't try to tame me/ Let me have my fun,/ I've got to have my fling,/ Some folks say I'm blowing my top/ Talk don't mean a thing, . . .»
«I would sing softly, and if the people at the next table would want to hear what I was doing, they'd have to call me over and give me a tip.»
«Maybe if I knew music I couldn't do what I am doing.»
«None of them going to treat me bad, honey, I'm too strict for that.»
«Put your faith in God and confidence in yourself.»
«Until they put that sand and dirt in my face I will not sit in church all day.»
