He told The Nation that his father was his first critic, adding that when he played his first composition to his father, he asked how people could dance to it. The singer reminisced, “Fela asked, ‘So how do you want people to dance to this?’ I only thought of the melody when I composed the song, but on speaking to him, I realised that it was important for Africans to be able to dance to the song.”
