Funk, Gospel, Blues Is All Out Of

When I Was Studying... There Weren't Any Black Concert Pianists. My Choices Were Intuitive, And I Had The Technique To Do It. People Have Heard My Music And Heard The Classic In It, So I Have Become Known As A Black Classical Pianist.

I Can't Stand Loud Guitars That Make Me Deaf.

You Can't Be Different If You Look At It. Being Gifted Is Different. I Had That In My Piano Playing. I'm Very Thankful For That. I'm Very Aware Of That. The Style And What I Fed Is Just Me. I Never Worked At It. It Just Happened.

My Singing, If You Want To Call It That Is Merely Another Medium Of Expression. Just An Instrument I Play. That's How I See My Voice.

Desegregation Is A Joke.
