Jazz was my first love.

Grease is the word, is the word that you heard, It's got groove, its got feeling.

I grew up beyond proud - we didnt have much, but we had a lot of love.

I do belong to Jersey. There's no doubt about that in my mind. They have been so loyal and so good to me, how could I possibly belong any place else?

I spent many a summer early morning with the radio very low, half sleeping and half listening.

I'm going to be as big as Sinatra.

I always believed a singer should be able to sing any kind of song. If I wanted to sing a Cole Porter song, I should be able to do that. Or Sherry, I should be able to do that. Or a Dylan song.
