I am extremely lucky; I've never been ill - although about 20 years ago I broke my right arm hang gliding.

When I do my solo concerts, I'm used to being on the stage for two hours solid, singing 16 songs. And when I did 'Funny Thing,' I was on the stage the whole time. This is much more difficult. It's the difference between racing and sprinting. This is sprinting. And I have to learn to pace myself.

And singing is a physical thing - your vocal cords are these muscles.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not a public democratic organization; it's a private club basically. It's like a private golf club and they decide who they're going to let in the club.

In 1962 I was 17, so I was definitely watching the dance shows on television.

My parents were both in show business. My father was an actor, my mom an actress, and both singers, dancers and actors. They met in Los Angeles doing a play together and so I grew up in a show biz family.

When I look back on my life, I wonder how I survived - my mother said I had a guardian angel.
