That song helped make me a world citizen. It allowed me to live, work and sing in any city on the globe. It changed my whole life.

"Benedetto" means the "blessed one" and I feel that I have truly been blessed.

I don't look down to an audience. I look up to them. They respond to quality.

Someday, when I'm awfully low, and the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you, and the way you look tonight.

I can't ask for more out of life, and the more I learn, the less I know.

I'm still learning about music. The best way to learn is to listen to the audience. When you listen to the audience, they will tell you what they like. I wish these big corporations, instead of telling the audience what they should have, would listen.

I have to say I owe my career to the master composers of the Great American Songbook who have written such high-quality songs - the best popular music ever composed.
