I Used To Sing Like Nat King Cole. I Mean He Was The Guy When I Was Comin' Up, And You Know, Man, People Used To Say Of Me, "damn, He Sure Do Sound Like Nat King Cole."

So My Advice Is, Never Do Anything That You Don't Like.

When I'm Having A Rehearsal And There Are New Guys Who Come In To Try Out For The Job, I Always Let My Conductor Rehearse Them. Because I Don't Want The Guy To Get Bent Out Of Shape, Because I Walk In.
