When I look back on my life, I wonder how I survived - my mother said I had a guardian angel.
And singing is a physical thing - your vocal cords are these muscles.
In 1962 I was 17, so I was definitely watching the dance shows on television.
Writing is a great love of mine.
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.
There was never any pressure on me to go into the business, but I was always aware of it. I'd go on the set with my father and he and my mother would always be singing.
