Any Good Music Must Be An Innovation.

I've Never Believed In Cheapening Music By Going According To What Some People Think Is Public Taste.

In A Sense, A Hit Belongs To The Person Who Made It Popular, But If A Tune Is Good Enough To Attain Tremendous Success, Then It Certainly Deserves More Than One Version, One Treatment, One Approach.

Regardless Of Who Originally Made It Popular, Any Hit Song Becomes A Challenge To The Ingenuity And Imagination Of Other Musicians And Performers.

I'm Not An Intellectual Composer.

I Did The Broadway Album Unfortunately In A Year When There Were No Hits.
