The Five Heartbeats
(Robert Townsend,
):
Why do we need to cross over? Why are niggers always crossing over something, eh? I mean, what's the matter, eh? They can accept our music as long as they can't see our faces?
We decided to change the cover a little bit, because we see the big picture: negroes and white folks buying this album.
Negroes and white folks buying this album. Everybody's gonna know who this group is. We just felt that the picture wasn't as important as it was that we succeed in crossing over.
Cross over ain't nothing but a double cross. I mean, once we lose our audience we're never gonna get them back!
He may even try to change our sound.
Tell me something, eh. How come they never cross over to us, eh?! I've never seen five niggers on Elvis Presley's album cover!
