country stress past
I first came to Brazil in the Sixties. Then I started coming back every year since touring most of the country. I grew to love it, the people, the music. I thought this is where I belong. I've been living in Brazil for the past 23 years. I call it my stress-free country.
country home brazil
Brazil is where I belong, the place that feels like home. They love their family, their country and God, and are not afraid to let anybody know it.
country music-is seems
Country music is so related to gospel. It seems I could go down that road pretty easily.
song artist cds
Every time we buy a CD or download a song, the artist is paid for their work. You might not know that this isn't the case when a musician's work is played on the radio.
careers icons long
I look at the careers of people I'm standing on the shoulders of. People like Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., and Sarah Vaughan. These are icons I wanted to emulate, and I feel like they've been holding me up for quite a long time.
people obsession problem
The problem with fame is you no longer belong to you. You lose your persona and become the object of other people's obsession.
trying helping vocal-cords
I try to be cognisant of when and how and what I eat and get as much rest as I possibly can, as that helps the vocal cords.
psychics wonderful georgians
Linda Georgian is a wonderful psychic. She can do amazing things.
voice self voiceless
My self-imposed mandate is to be the voice for the voiceless.
people path entertainment
People like Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Marlene Dietrich and Sammy Davis Jr. all walked me down this path of entertainment.
bad-relationship doubt about-yourself
A bad relationship can do that, can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.
thinking trials way
I think it's a complete injustice, the way it's (the trial) being done
grateful world imagine
I love what I do. I was given the most incredible gift that can be given to anyone. I could never imagine a world without music, and I feel grateful that I've been given the ability to share that.
inspiring mothers-day children
Healthy children are born from healthy, respected, well-nourished and educated mothers and it is imperative that they have a voice in the decisions which affect them. If you empower a mother and let her have her say towards a poverty-free future, the positive impact this would have on ending hunger will be immense.
