I Don't Have To Be An Imitation

Music Became My Refuge And Then My Salvation.

I Want To Sing Like Aretha Franklin. Before Her I Wanted The Technical Ability Of Ella Fitzgerald.

Always Be Smarter Than The People Who Hire You.

I've Seen So Much. And I've Heard So Many Great Performers. There Are Performers Now That Couldn't Work Back In The Days When I Came Along.

I'm Me, And I'm Like Nobody Else.
