"I started playing that prior to the recording of the Hot Streets album. I probably had one of the first ones that were actually taken on the road. It’s a wonderful machine. I found that I didn’t need the Hammond B-3 anymore when I had the CS-80. I use the organ voice a lot. If I want a Jimmy Smith sound, I use the 16’ and the 2 1/2’ or 2 2/3’. Then if I want the kind of sound I had in “Vote For Me,” I just push it down to the 2’ to bring up the brilliance and resonance a little bit, and fool around with the upper and lower keyboard balance. With that and the Leslies, it really growls."

"We needed another singer for me to be able to comp on my Hammond M-3 and bass pedals. I was singing at the same time, and sometimes also playing the Wurlitzer, and I was getting schizophrenic, just trying to do all that stuff. So we finally had a bass player, who sang his ass off. He worked out very well."
