Being able to sing all these years has helped me handle life's tragedies.
I was a kid from Oklahoma who never wanted to be a singer, but was told I could sing. And things snowballed.
I think that one of Elvis' charms was that he could sing almost any kind of music. I am sure that in his heart, which I don't know what was there, but just from his singing I could feel that he was very partial to gospel music.
On the radio I listen to the easy-listening stations, the jazz stations.
Each song, you're telling a story and acting.
What I like about singing is that, for me, it's a substitute for the psychiatrist's couch.
