It's interesting, as I said on the last tour in America, the audience actually came out, they had to have been the kind of fans who listened to my music via their parents, you know what I mean?

I have one message for young musicians around the world. Stay true to your heart, believe in yourself, and work hard.

I would like to be able to do a song with Ray Charles, before we both get too old.

Back then, I, most rockers loved Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis... you know in the '60s.

I think to be a good songwriter, you have to be able to play an instrument.

It's nice to get a response from the artists that I cover.

Ive been touring now since about 68.
