I refuse to allow prejudice to defeat me.

I have been blessed with some incredible compositions to record and perform and all of my songs have had the ability to grow as I and those who have supported this career of mine for these 50 years have.

I am a combination of my entire family.

My self-imposed mandate is to be the voice for the voiceless.

I love what I do. I was given the most incredible gift that can be given to anyone. I could never imagine a world without music, and I feel grateful that I've been given the ability to share that.

What's it all about Alfie, is it just the moment we live?

I treat others exactly the way I want to be treated.
