Quoted in The Greatest Record Man of All Time ↑

One of the few times I cried

I thought they were going to be a revolutionary kind of group. It was fantastic to have three great guitar players who were also three outstanding lead singers. [When they broke up] I think it was one of the few times I cried, because I just thought I had the historic group.
