I think the first time I ever wore a tuxedo was when I played at the Talk Of The Town in 1967, because it was a nightclub and that was the thing to do.

When I started off in Wales, I sang and accompanied myself with guitar in the '50s. And then I got a band together, which is a rhythm section, really. I used to do a lot of blues, and rhythm and blues, and '50s rock 'n' roll and country, and all kinds of stuff.

I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.

Oh yeah, I would have been a coal miner, I would think, if I hadn't had tuberculosis when I was 12.

You can't be a sexy person unless you have something sexy to offer. With me, it's my voice: the way that I sing, the way I express myself when I sing.

First of all, I love singing. I mean, I get out of bed and I sing. I can't help it.
