I Don't Think I Was

I'm Not Stopping. My Dream Has Come True, And I'm Staying.

Too Often, The Opportunity Knocks, But By The Time You Push Back The Chain, Push Back The Bolt, Unhook The Two Locks And Shut Off The Burglar Alarm, It's Too Late.

I Was Kind Of Known As A Ballad Singer. People Would Send Ballads. Some Of Them Would Go Over My Shoulder And Float Off The Top Of My Head, And I Just Didn't Feel Anything. Then I Would Hear A Song That Would Absolutely Shake Me.

I Think The Challenges For Me Was To Go Into The Studio With These Incredible Jazz Players And Come Up To Their Level Of Excellence. That's Always A Challenge.

I Recorded My First Jazz Record In The '70s.
