I Wanted To Make A Jazz Record.

I Think You Have To Have A Jazz Pedigree To Be On Jazz Radio.

I Was Kind Of Known As A Ballad Singer. People Would Send Ballads. Some Of Them Would Go Over My Shoulder And Float Off The Top Of My Head, And I Just Didn't Feel Anything. Then I Would Hear A Song That Would Absolutely Shake Me.

Too Often, The Opportunity Knocks, But By The Time You Push Back The Chain, Push Back The Bolt, Unhook The Two Locks And Shut Off The Burglar Alarm, It's Too Late.

Possibly, I Should Have Been A Jazz Singer From The Beginning.

My Grandmother Passed At 104. She Sang And Wrote Songs Until She Passed.
