Because obviously the whole purpose of putting records out is purely and simply to make money.

I want to sing for the broadest possible audience.

To me, nostalgia is nothing more than a mindless plundering of the past for the commonplace.

Buddy Rich is one of a kind; he's a genius, and that's all there is to it.

But, in fairness to them, too, the popular song per se is really a pretty shallow medium to perform in.

As a singer, the biggest joy I have are the arrangements.

As regards my feelings about drummers - there's Buddy Rich, and then there's everybody else.
