If I wasn't my age, I would turn a flip. I would do some cartwheels. That's how I feel.

Whenever somebody tells me they want me to stop singing, I'm gone.

I feel so good singing songs that I sang with my father.

My purpose: to lift your spirit and to motivate you.

Well Lord, I'm still on the case. I'm still doing what Dr. King and Pops want me to do. I'm still on that freedom highway, and I'm going to walk on it until Dr. King's dream is realized.

Music is such a joy, just an absolute joy.

There's still injustice happening in my world. I sing my songs at concerts and I'm so grateful that the people are ready to hear them.
