Music Is The Chalk To The Blackboard

What Is A Soul? It's Like Electricity - We Don't Really Know What It Is, But It's A Force That Can Light A Room.

What Makes My Approach Special Is That I Do Different Things. I Do Jazz, Blues, Country Music And So Forth. I Do Them All, Like A Good Utility Man.

Just Because You Can't See Anything , Doesn't Mean You Should Shut Your Eyes.

I Was Born With Music Inside Me

When I Started To Sing Like Myself - As Opposed To Imitating Nat Cole, Which I Had Done For A While - When I Started Singing Like Ray Charles, It Had This Spiritual And Churchy, This Religious Or Gospel Sound. It Had This Holiness And Preachy Tone To It. It Was Very Controversial. I Got A Lot Of Criticism For It.
