I really, really enjoy music and that's why I do what I do.

I also met, early on Ella Fitzgerald. Her songbooks are some of the most amazing bodies of work.

I love the house that I've been living in for over 40 years. I really am a homebody and I still love to play golf.

Sometimes being famous gets in the way of doing what you want to do.

But I am very grateful for my success, and with success, of course, comes a whole lot of celebrity.

My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I've tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

Even though there's no forum for me on the radio for the kind of music I sing anymore, I am still excited about having a career where I can sing the best music in the world, and people will come and hear me because of the hit records I've had in the past.
