I'm A Firm Believer And I Think

I Just Went To Harvard A Little While, Because I Graduated From Armstrong High School In Washington And Then I Went Up There But I Didn't Stay That Long Because I Went Into Show Business.

I Was So Enamored With The Idea Of Being In Show Business So Everything Was Bright To Me. I Mean, I Didn't Think Of It As Being Tough And Things Like That.

I'm Used To Hearing Myself. My Own Voice.

I Knew Exactly What I Was, And There Was No Hang-up With Me. None Whatsoever. The Fact That The Pigment Of My Skin Maybe Being Lighter Brown Than Other People Of My Race, Maybe Some Of Them, But You Know Our Race Has All Colors.

I Was Still In School At The Time And Cab Was Very Popular And Everybody Was Doing Cab Calloway So I Did.
