I Was Born With Music Inside Me

All My Life I've Always Been So Blue, Born To Lose, And Now I'm Losing You.

When I Started To Sing Like Myself - As Opposed To Imitating Nat Cole, Which I Had Done For A While - When I Started Singing Like Ray Charles, It Had This Spiritual And Churchy, This Religious Or Gospel Sound. It Had This Holiness And Preachy Tone To It. It Was Very Controversial. I Got A Lot Of Criticism For It.

Sighted People, You Gotta Deal With Them.

There's Such A Thing As Too Much Happiness And Sadness. What I'm After Is Contentment.

Crying's Always Been A Way For Me To Get Things Out Which Are Buried Deep, Deep Down. When I Sing, I Often Cry. Crying Is Feeling, And Feeling Is Being Human.
