A lot of people don't believe in the Valley. It's up to us to prove them wrong and keep winning.
It gives the young men some assurance that things are going to be maintained,
We used to do seven shows at day at the Capitol Theater in Washington and the Paramount in New York. The manager said you are doing the young crowd in the morning, the senior citizens in the afternoon, the engaged and married couples in the evening. And he said just sing good songs and everyone would like it. I stayed with that.
He's a cult hero over here for doing it.
I always believed that we were going to be here. I never gave up.
My favorite song is "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" because it's become my signature song. I sang it for six American presidents and five command performances... it's made me a world citizen.
The sign says 'Welcome to Lancashire', it doesn't say 'Welcome to the administrative unit of Lancashire County Council - that would be all right.
The talent is on the rise in the Valley. That's why Valley teams can play with anyone in the country. As a conference we've beaten some pretty big programs this season and it's no accident. And the talent is only going to get better now that recruits can see what we're all about. We can play any style of ball.
I've tried to do that for my top assistant wherever I've been, but this is even better because it'll be for my son. I will feel like I've finished the job I was called to do in coming here,
Rosemary Clooney took all of us on the road. We were the first American idols.
This is amazing. I'm overwhelmed. It's music that I love so much from all of these magnificent artists.
I have a simple life. I mean, you just give me a drum roll, they announce my name, and I come out and sing. In my job I have a contract that says I'm a singer. So I sing.
I'm just so thrilled that all these contemporary artists want to sing with me. They're all making me feel so good.
I'm like a pitcher in the bullpen, keeping my arm warm. When they call me, I'll be ready to go.
