If I'm With A Man I'm Soft

Take A Little Time Out Of Your Busy Day To Give Encouragement To Someone Who's Lost Their Way.

It Seems Like I Don't Have A Lot Of Time For All The Things I Need To Do. I'm Spreading Myself Fairly Thin. I Have Responsibilities To My Children. I Have A Big Staff That Works For Me. And When You Have A Staff, And I'm Sure You Know This, You're Always Concerned With Everybody's Life All The Time.

I Think That If My Voice For Some Reason Changes - Because Your Voice Does Change - Then It's Time For Me Not To Sing.

I Don't Know What My Life Would Have Been Like If I'd Never Gotten Into Show Business.

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.
