That's what Tina Turner did, too - sang blues up-tempo - and they called it rock 'n' roll.
I just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
I think they saw me as something like a deliverer, a way out. My means of expression, my music, was a way in which a lot of people wished they could express themselves and couldn't.
I would wear flamboyant clothes and long hair, and most singers at the time didn't.
Plus I love Tanya Tucker and I love country music.
God gives us the ability, but rock 'n' roll was created by men.
