The Industry Now Wants To Be In

I Would Imagine After The First Recording Session With Jerry Leiber And Mike Stoller And Atlantic Records I Began To Realize That This Is Going To Be Like This For The Rest Of My Life And I Knew That What, What They Were Doing Was Going To Be Successful Because With Each Session That We Would Do, It Would Get Better And Better And Better, The Songs Would Become Better, The, Ah, The Feeling Of Success Was There And We Were All In The Middle Of That As Well.

It Never Dawned On Me At Any Particular Time Of My Life That People Are Paid Tremendous Money To Sing.

One Minute We Can Be In A Small Club, The Next Minute We Can Be In A Coliseum, And The Next Minute We Can Be In A Small Auditorium. It Varies, Depending On The Promoter, The Budget, And The Travelling Distance.
