• Jerry Butler : Often times, we don't write our own history. And, so, it gets screwed up. So, we've tried to get ours down, just in case, somebody wants to screw it up.

• Jerry Butler : [singing]  Only the strong survive, Only the strong survive, you gotta be strong, you gotta hold on...

• Roger Friedman : What was it like growing up in Chicago at that time?

  Jerry Butler : It was an interesting neighborhood. Ramsey Lewis was raised there. Curtis Mayfield, Major Lance, my younger brother Billy. All of us wound up in music coming from within maybe a three or four block radius of each other.
