I Found Out Along The Way That

I'm Still Learning, You Know. At 80, I Feel There Is A Lot I Don't Know.

I Learned From Ethel Waters, Duke Ellington, Adelaide Hall, The Nicholas Brothers, The Whole Thing, The Whole Schmear. [the Cotton Club] Was A Great Place Because It Hired Us, For One Thing, At A Time When It Was Really Rough [for Black Performers].

As Much As I Try, When I Open My Mouth, Lena Comes Out, And I Get So Mad.

It's So Nice To Get Flowers While You Can Still Smell The Fragrance.

My Identity Is Very Clear To Me Now, I Am A Black Woman.
