I Want To Sing Like Aretha Franklin.

In My Early Days I Was A Sepia Hedy Lamarr. Now I'm Black And A Woman, Singing My Own Way.

I Had My Schooling Right There In The Cotton Club.

You Have To Be Taught To Be Second Class; You're Not Born That Way.

Music Became My Refuge And Then My Salvation.

After I Got Over The Terrible Pain Of Having Something Of Mine Taken From Me, I Began To Think How Bad Everybody Else Must Be Feeling. It Wasn't A Nice Time.
