The important thing is to feel your music, really feel it and believe it.

What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man.

I sing what I sing true. Each night I sing it the way I feel that night.

Other arms reach out to me, Other eyes smile tenderly, Still in peaceful dreams I see, The road leads back to you.

I used to sing like Nat King Cole. I mean he was the guy when I was comin' up, and you know, man, people used to say of me, "Damn, he sure do sound like Nat King Cole." But there was a day, and luckily for me it was early, when I woke up and asked myself, "Well, when are the ask me to sing because I sound like me?" So my advice is, never do anything that you don't like.

The fact of the matter is, you don't give up what's natural. Anything I've fantasized about, I've done.

The important thing is to feel your music, really feel it and believe it.
