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

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

Thank God for vinyl! It's wonderful to be involved in something that captures your life from almost the beginning to the end. I'm absolutely blessed.

And fortunately, I haven't had any problem with my voice. I've been able to sing at a level of consistency that the people are expecting.

When you're doing bad things, you just don't know whether you can conquer them or not. I found out how strong I could be when I was motivated, and I'm kind of proud of that.

Let's love, press your lips to mine. Let's kiss, for that thrill divine.

Its just that some people are lucky and people still seem to enjoy the music.
