To Be Young, Gifted And Black!

I Only Knew Classical Music, Which To Me Was The Only True Music. The Only Way I Could Survive At The Bar Was To Mix The Classical Music With Popular Songs, And That Meant I Had To Sing.

Once I Understood Bach's Music, I Wanted To Be A Concert Pianist. Bach Made Me Dedicate My Life To Music, And It Was That Teacher Who Introduced Me To His World.
