chuckle died laugh
Before she died we were able to laugh and chuckle about a lot of things.
money particular sing
I am particular about the seating of the audience-also about how much money they pay-but most of all where they are seated. If I am going to sing something intimate, who am I going to sing it to?
romantic heart blow
My love is like the wind and wild is the wind. Give me more than one caress, satisfy my hungriness. Let the wind blow through your heart for wild is the wind.

first-love love-is men
I would like a man now who is rich, and who can give me a boat - a sailboat. I want to own it and let him pay for it. My first love is the sea and water, not music. Music is second.
brotherhood jokes
Desegregation is a joke.
rap thinking hip-hop
I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.
umpires swim trying
I try to swim every damn day I can, and I've learned to scuba dive and snorkel.
