I may sing the same songs for over 40 years now but I always sing them in different ways in order to keep the excitement and passion alive.

I live my life, breathless... A life of constant motion and excitement. A life that many will envy and most would avoid!

Blues was made for the recessed.

I used to hang out a lot in jazz clubs, and the groups took to a kid like me who wasn't afraid to get up and sing with a jazz band. Then I started to hang out in rock clubs and learned to carry off different styles.

OK, I've had a life of sort of success, some people know who I am but a lot of people don't. I feel the need to change that still.

It's the need for change that drives us to join forces with our brothers and sisters all around the world - but change is slow.

Everything changes and, somewhere along the line, I'm changing with it.
