One of the high points of my career was winning the Grammy for 'I Will Survive.'

My grandmother went to church, but my mother had been inundated with church and decided that when she had children, she would not push church or God on her children.

Well, I was in a band. I was the singer with a band called the Soul Satisfiers. I sang then quite a bit of Jazz and some Top 40 stuff.

First I have a collection of all of the albums I've ever done, on vax.

Actually I'm more passionate about dancing than I am about singing.

My audience is often hands-up, standing and cheering and on tables and all of that kind of things.

The respect that you should have for one another-I never knew any of that. So I suffered.
