I Really Think I Want To Live

I'm From A Singing Family, But They're Not Professional Singers, Only Gospel - My Grandfather Was A Minister. I Started To Sing The Music That Was Out Then Because My Mother Used To Play It All The Time. It Was The End Of The '50s, The Beginning Of The '60s. There Was Frankie Lyman And The Teenagers, Etta James... We Used To Sit Outside On The Stoop And Sing. We Even Used To Put Our Radios And Record Players Outside.

I Just Think Josephine Baker Life Story Needs To Be Done. I Think She Was An Extraordinary Woman. To See Someone Who Was Basically A Showgirl Have The Kind Of Lifestyle She Had Was Extraordinary. I Really Think She Made Her Own Lifestyle.

Either Black People End Up Being The Best In Sports, Or Else It's Show Business. You Know, We All Got Rhythm.

If I'm With A Man I'm Soft And Buttery.

I Was Brought Up In This Part Of Detroit That They Used To Call The Ghetto.
