It Feels So Good To Be Happy.

Jazz Took Too Much Discipline. You Have To Come In At The Right Place, Which Is Different Than Me Singing The Blues, Where I Can Sing, 'oh, Baby,' If There's A Pause In The Melody. With Jazz, You Better Leave That Space Open, Or Put In Something Real Cool.

See, I Don't Like Places Where People Can't Dance - Don't Like Clubs Or Theatres Where A Bunch Of Bourgeois People Sit Around Tip, Tip, Tipping Their Fingers.

Now I Can Stand Up On The Stage Again Like I Used To After Five Years Of Sitting Down While I Sang.

They Said That Etta James Is Still Vulgar. I Said, Oh, How Dare Them Say I'm Still Vulgar. I'm Vulgar Because I Dance In The Chair. What Would They Want Me To Do? Want Me To Just Be Still Or Something Like That? I've Got To Do Something.

To Me, Country Music Is Like The Blues, But It's Something Very Hip And - I Don't Want To Say Commercial - But It's Very Worldly And Good Listening.
