I Do A Lot Of Vegas Work

If You Just Concentrate On What You're Doing And Allow Yourself To Actually Enjoy And Let Your Feelings Come Out, Whatever The Tempos, Whatever The Rhythms, Whatever The Songs, 9 Out Of 10 Times It Will Work.

In New York, I Was Excited About The Music In New York Because The Only Music That I Was More Or Less Involved With In The South Was Either Country And Western Or Hillbilly Music As We Used To Call It When I Was A Kid And, Ah, Gospel. There Was No, There Was No In Between. And When I Got To New York All The Other Musics That's In The World Just Came Into My Head Whether It Was The Classics, Jazz, I Never Knew What Jazz Was About All, Had Heard Anything About Jazz.

I Still Perform It In All My Shows. I'll Do It As Long As I'm Breathing. I'm So Proud It Has Stood The Test Of Time.

It Never Dawned On Me At Any Particular Time Of My Life That People Are Paid Tremendous Money To Sing.

I'm A Songwriter. So I'm Ok. But When I Wrote "stand By Me" As A Song And To Know That The Song Will Probably Be Here For Hundred And Hundreds Of Years To Come, It's Great, You Know. And It Was Just Simple Lyrics.
