I Had Gone To Europe . .

Prayer Begins Where Human Capacity Ends.

You Can't Build A Chimney From The Top, You Know.

I Had Gone To Europe . . . To Reach For A Place As A Serious Artist, But I Never Doubted That I Must Return. I Was - And Am - An American.

When I Sing, I Don't Want Them To See That My Face Is Black; I Don't Want Them To See That My Face Is White - I Want Them To See My Soul. And That Is Colorless.

A Person Has To Be Busy To Be Alive.
