Being with the Dap-Kings is like being an athlete.

Doctors removed my gallbladder and pancreas, which are supposed to break down sugar and alcohol.

Singing is my life. And when I can do that, that's when I'm free. That's when I'm at my happiest, I'm at my most.

I'm not planning on singing too late. Maybe another eight or 10 years is enough before I retire. It would also be great to revisit all these stunning places around the world where I have toured.

God's eye is on a sparrow. And I know - oh, yes, I know he watches over me...

I don't want to be home just taking medicine and waiting to die, you know? That's not something I'm about.

I'm not going to sing something if it doesn't make sense to me, or if it makes me look like I'm begging someone or I'm weak, because that's not me.
