Music is my happiness, my joy, and when my body wasn't right I couldn't get into my music without being healed, without being healthy.

I never took any kind of vocal lessons or teachings of how to - I never even took piano lessons. And a voice just came to me and said, go play the piano in the church.

I'm going to dress a little different. Those frilly dresses I used to wear on stage, that was the old me.

We chose it's name [Give the People What They Want] a while ago, long before the cancer. But I can't think of a more fitting title.

I just want to give my love to God.

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.

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