I Would Like To Enjoy

I Am In Prayer For His Kids And The Family.

I'm From A Singing Family, But They're Not Professional Singers, Only Gospel - My Grandfather Was A Minister. I Started To Sing The Music That Was Out Then Because My Mother Used To Play It All The Time. It Was The End Of The '50s, The Beginning Of The '60s. There Was Frankie Lyman And The Teenagers, Etta James... We Used To Sit Outside On The Stoop And Sing. We Even Used To Put Our Radios And Record Players Outside.

So I'm Not Worried About The Emotions I Carry With Me, Because I'm Happy That I Have Them; I Think It's Good For The Work I Do. The Emotions That Are Not Healthy Are The Ones You Hold Inside, Like Anger.

I Want An Autobiography Without Revealing Any Personal Information.

A Reporter Once Asked Me If I Ever Cried. I Wonder If People Think I'm Just As Hard As A Rock And Have No Emotions At All.
