The Two Things You Can't

When Malcolm X Was Assassinated I Was Working At The Apollo. They Brought His Body To The Unity Funeral Home, Which Was Around The Corner.

I'm Not A Braggart, But When I Was A Little Girl People Used To Come From All Over Hollywood To Hear Me Sing.

My Mother Was A Jazz Fanatic And She Wanted Me To Play The Piano So I Could Play Jazz Tunes. I Wish I Had Learned But I Was Too Busy Getting Into Trouble!

When I Look Out At The People And They Look At Me And They're Smiling, Then I Know That I'm Loved. That Is The Time When I Have No Worries, No Problems.

The Only Time That I Am Really Truly Happy—when I Feel At My Best—is When I'm On The Stage.
