50 Years Old Is Like Springtime To

I Had My Schooling Right There In The Cotton Club.

It's Ill-becoming For An Old Broad To Sing About How Bad She Wants It. But Occasionally We Do.

I Learned From Ethel Waters, Duke Ellington, Adelaide Hall, The Nicholas Brothers, The Whole Thing, The Whole Schmear. [the Cotton Club] Was A Great Place Because It Hired Us, For One Thing, At A Time When It Was Really Rough [for Black Performers].

I'm Me, And I'm Like Nobody Else.

I Was Lucky, As Many Of My Generation Was, In Having A Man Like Dr. King In Our Lives. He Came At A Time That We Needed To Take A Long Look At Each Other And See How Similar We Were.
