    "It's not gonna be very good if I don't wanna do it. It's not gonna be _real_ "
    Sums up *_exactly_* why I've always been drawn to his music. No fronts. Ever. Be honest or go home. Priceless.

    I was thinking he collaborated with Ray Charles on “Baby Grand”. I do think Billy wrote it all and brought it before Ray already finished so maybe that’s why he didn’t mention Ray Charles here

      That track with Ray Charles is great. It's "Baby Grand." "Code of Silence" is also on the album "The Bridge." In this interview, Billy is talking about collaborating on the writing of a song. Ray Charles didn't co-write. Cyndi Lauper did. Love both of these songs. That whole album is great. :)
