Music Is The Universal Language ... It

Whatever She Does To My Songs, She Always Makes Them Sound Better.

When I'm On Stage I Feel At Home

When We Were At The Apollo, Holiday Was A Block Away. I Asked Her For Her Autograph.

I Owe Marilyn Monroe A Real Debt … She Personally Called The Owner Of The Mocambo, And Told Him She Wanted Me Booked Immediately, And If He Would Do It, She Would Take A Front Table Every Night. She Told Him – And It Was True, Due To Marilyn’s Superstar Status – That The Press Would Go Wild. The Owner Said Yes, And Marilyn Was There, Front Table, Every Night. The Press Went Overboard. After That, I Never Had To Play A Small Jazz Club Again. She Was An Unusual Woman – A Little Ahead Of Her Times. And She Didn’t Know It.

I Think I Do Better When I Sing.
