"Tom Waits, the gravelly-voiced poet-musician who takes on characters and tells stories, rather than the usual narrative approach of a writer talking about themselves. These characters of Tom’s are usually from the less upwardly mobile set of society — the drunkard, the enlisted man, the penniless traveler, the gas-station attendant… A trademark of his songwriting is that he often puts the sweetest melodies with the saddest stories."

Just a quote from Marvin Gaye "Years back, when we were still in Detroit, Berry saw my acting potential, even before he started pushing Diana. He wanted to do the Sam Cooke story and have me play the lead. This was in 1964 when Sam had just died. I told Berry the idea was morbid. I got the chills thinking about it. There was no way I´d even consider the role. It made me extreamly nervous to even think about a soul singer who gets shot to death."
