I Don't Sing A Song Unless I

Goodbye Don't Mean Gone.

I Had To Pawn My Clothes Just To Pay My Rent.

I'd Like To Think That When I Sing A Song, I Can Let You Know All About The Heartbreak, Struggle, Lies And Kicks In The Ass I've Gotten Over The Years For Being Black And Everything Else, Without Actually Saying A Word About It.

Many Times During Auditions, I Was Told That I Couldn't Carry A Note With A Bucket, And That I Sure Couldn't Play The Piano.

Learning To Read Music In Braille And Play By Ear Helped Me Develop A Damn Good Memory.
