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.
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.
memories wall moon
Tom Walls and his cohort are wolves in sheep's clothing who will besmirch the memory of some genuine historic figures by the next full moon.
ambition singers toes
I was born into a family of gospel singers. My early ambitions were many. I was going to be a ballerina. I almost had that one come true until I tore a tendon, so I transferred from my toes to my throat and that's where the talent settled.
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.
