Every Color I Can Think

I'm Not A Career Kind Of Person. When I Saw New Music, New Trends Coming In, I Didn't See Any Place For Me. And I Didn't Think About It As A Career Loss, Because I Was Married - I Have A Great- Grandchild Now. The Low Points Were When I Lost People That I Really Cared About.

I Was Unique In That I Was A Kind Of Black That White People Could Accept. I Was Their Daydream. I Had The Worst Kind Of Acceptance Because It Was Never For How Great I Was Or What I Contributed. It Was Because Of The Way I Looked.

Don't Be Afraid To Feel As Angry Or As Loving As You Can, Because When You Feel Nothing, It's Just Death.

You Wouldn't Be Allowed To Get On A Particular Bus, But You'd Be Asked To Sign Your Autograph.

I've Seen So Much. And I've Heard So Many Great Performers. There Are Performers Now That Couldn't Work Back In The Days When I Came Along.
