I Don't Sing A Song Unless I

I'm A Firm Believer In God Himself, But That's As Far As I Can Go. I'm Not Any Denomination. I'm Not Catholic Or Presbyterian Or Baptist Or Methodist Or Jewish Or Muslim. I'm None Of Those Things. And I'm Sure That's Just Fine With God.

I'm Not A Jazz Singer, Blues Singer Or Country Singer. I'm A Singer That Can Sing Rhythm & Blues, That Can Sing Jazz, That Can Sing Country. There's A Big Difference. In Other Words, I'm Not A Specialist.

I Don't Sing A Song Unless I Feel It. The Song Don't Tug At My Heart, I Pass On It. I Have To Believe In What I'm Doing.
