I Don't Give The Devil Credit For

I Came From A Family Where My People Didn't Like Rhythm And Blues. Bing Crosby - "pennies From Heaven" - Ella Fitzgerald, Was All I Heard.

But When I Went On The Stage To Do A Show, I Would Put On Makeup Because I Felt That It Enhanced My Act; It Drew Attention To What I Was Doing.

Now They Have Banging Guitar And No Bass And Call It Rock, But That's Not What I Call Rock.

Rock 'n' Roll Offered Me A Platform To Speak What I Felt. It Also Offered Me A Platform To Support My Mama And My Brothers And Sisters - Twelve Children.

I Don't Think A Woman Has To Act Like A Man To Show That She Has Strength.
