BIG LUCKY (CARTER) - STOP ARGUING OVER ME

A Black Legend who is Black Indigenous People History that expands around the world is in the spirit of Willie Mitchell, a music legend. I enjoyed working with Pop Mitchell who made everyone around him feel like family.

Hi Records was home for me growing up as a little Black Kid in Memphis Tennessee and seeing some of the greatest talents and the biggest stars in music history is something that I will always remember.

I never sang anything in my life and I didn't play any instrument well enough to be considered as a musician, but still somehow I was part of the greatest musical movement in the history of the world and I understand why I was there because I can tell these legendary people stories and their history because I was there.

As a child you never understand who the people who call you family are in real life outside of your small circle. People idolized these people who you just saw as everyday people and nothing else, because you loved them for them and they loved you for you.
