When I'm Singing The Blues, I'm Singing

I Really Turned Into, You Know, The Real Street Kid. I Was Kind Of Like A Runaway, But I Had A Mother, You Know What I Mean, And I Had A Place To Stay.

I Talked To The Record Company About What I Had In Mind. They Said They Wanted Something Lush. I Figured The Best Thing To Do Was Let Them Hear What I Had In Mind.

Now I Can Stand Up On The Stage Again Like I Used To After Five Years Of Sitting Down While I Sang.

This Is An Album Of Songs That I've Always Loved, Tunes That I Heard. For The First Time In 53 Years Of Recording, I Really Had Control Over An Entire Album, Start To Finish.

Even As A Little Child, I've Always Had That Comedian Kind Of Attitude.
