I've been blessed with the ability to sing, and that has taken me so many places I never would have gone otherwise.

Sinatra, in my opinion, is possibly the greatest male singer of all time.

Of all the songs I've recorded, 'Amarillo By Morning' always sticks out in my mind.

Swing is my favorite kind of music.

I always enjoy it when I walk on stage. There were some times when I was working so much in the '80s, and I felt really burnt-out. But I'd be up there singing and not be 10,000 million miles away, you know, just opening my mouth and the words coming out.

Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys are simply the best band that ever was.

I discovered in college that country music could be fun adding some swing to it.
