Fans Are What Make A Performer And

In 20 Years I Had Sold More Records For Rca Than Any Artist Except Elvis Presley.

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 Always Wanted To Grow Up Fast. I Longed For More Than The Mississippi Delta Could Give.

The Time I Spent Thinking About How I Was Better Than Somebody Else Or Worrying About Somebody Else's Attitude Was Time I Could Put To Better Use.

I Was Sometimes Jeered By Black Soldiers Who Wanted Me To Sing Something Besides Country Music.
