If Detroit Was A Watershed

It Was Unlikely That Anyone Had Ever Heard A Black Person Sing Country Music.

Singing As A Full-time Job Was Not Something I Had Given A Lot Of Thought To And I Had No Clear Notion Of The Money To Be Made In It.

I Try To Keep My Feet On The Ground. Even Though I Appreciate The Fame And Adoration, I Remember Once I Used To Pick Cotton, And I Felt Like Even Then I Was Somebody. I Have The Same Feet, Hands And Heart Like Everyone Else. I'm Just Also Blessed With A Good Voice.

The Tastes Of Country Music Fans Are Not Limited To The Narrow Range Defined By Consultants And Programmers And Record Company Moguls.

Besides Good Schools, A Good Airport, And The Cowboys, Dallas Had Golf Courses, And Golf Was Fast Becoming An Obsession With Me.
