Bobby Taylor:
What if I don't make it? Uncle Ray:
What if you *do* make it. And what if you *are* that good. Bobby, you'll never know until you try. You got to give it your all, Bobby. You got to give it everything you've got. I know. Cause it happened to me. I stopped believin' in me. I started listenin' to all those other people tell me what I couldn't do. I kept listenin' - and listenin'. Until one day, I started believin' it and I quit. Lost my chops. Man, when I was singin' - I was the happiest man alive. On stage, doin' it!
