I love the 'Delilah' show. I've been listening to it for years and years. It's incredible. She's always got a song for the right occasion. Many people call in, maybe their spirit it a little down, and she lifts them up. She is really somebody special. She's a lifeline to a lot of people.

You can walk out on me tonight, if you think that it ain't feeling right, but darling, there's no getting over me.

The last time I saw Elvis was when I played my second New Years Eve show for him in 1970.

I am a Christian. I know I am a Christian, knowing that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.

Now is now, and I live everything one day at a time. The fact that I'm still on the planet and able to still make music is such a miracle.

I remember my uncle and my father telling me that my mother didn't want me because I was blind. She thought being blind was a disgrace and a punishment from God. I understand that a lot of young mothers probably wouldn't know what to do in that situation, but over your life you learn to forgive everything.

I'm a singer, not a vocal stylist. My breathing is correct; my enunciation is precise. Because of that, I can sing anybody's music. Yet there are stylists whose technical skills are so underdeveloped they can sing only their own songs their own way. They might be remembered for their hits longer than I am. I'll probably be working longer than they are. I can sing whatever the times and the trends demand.
