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.
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.
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.
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.
play careers peers
During the time that my recording career seemed to be in a slump a music called disco came on the scene and literally took over radio stations as well as having radio stations created to play it which sort of negated my music as well as that of some of my peers.
writing kissing peers
I had said before that I'd never write an autobiography because I've been around, and there's a lot that I've seen and heard that stays with me. That's just mine. I didn't want to do a kiss-and-tell, as some of my peers have.
song blessed years
I have been blessed with some incredible compositions to record and perform and all of my songs have had the ability to grow as I and those who have supported this career of mine for these 50 years have.
song children my-children
My songs are like my children. I love every single one of them.
thinking ifs can-do
If you can think it, you can do it
incredibles moments
I've had some incredible moments in my life - thus far. I hope a lot more are coming.
art stars media
All the stars that never were are parking cars and pumping gas.
kissing phones pneumonia
What do you get when you kiss a guy? You get enough germs to catch pneumonia. After you do, he'll never phone you.
