"I never drank, smoked, used drugs or had bad habits," he told interviewer Larry Katz in 1998. "I’d drive a taxi cab to get me the food I need to live. I never was starstruck. I had 23 hit records and I never looked for the next record to hit. I never had that need that they had to be somebody. I just wanted to be."

Quite the contrast to the no talent druggie performers of today.

RIP Mr. Price.
