Country music is so related to gospel. It seems I could go down that road pretty easily.

I have been consistent by staying true to who I am and will continue to sing the type of songs that those who have continued to support my career expect from me.

People have been so supportive of this career for so long, and they are still enjoying the music that I bring to them.

People like Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Marlene Dietrich and Sammy Davis Jr. all walked me down this path of entertainment.

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

It is frustrating to be a Black woman in the entertainment industry.

Do you know the way to San Hose?
