[my Mother] Called [my Voice] The Gift.

If I'm Anything, I'm Not A Singer But I'm A Song Stylist.

Stop Your Ears And Close Your Eyes And Try To Find The Face Of Love.

So I Simply Don't Buy The Concept Of "generation X" As The "lost Generation." I See Too Many Good Kids Out There, Kids Who Are Ready And Willing To Do The Right Thing, Just As Jack Was. Their Distractions Are Greater, Though. There's No More Simple Life With Simple Choices For The Young.

I Expect My Life To End Pretty Soon. You Know, I'm 71 Years Old. I Have Great Faith, Though. I Have Unshakable Faith.

My Way Of Communicating With God As A Boy (and Often Even Now) Was Through The Lyrics Of A Song. . . . So I Didn't Have The Problem Some People Do Who Say, "i Don't Know How To Pray." I Used The Songs To Communicate With God. . . . To Me, Songs Were The Telephone To Heaven, And I Tied Up The Line Quite A Bit.
