We All Must Live Our Lives Always

I Meet People In My Daily Life, People Who Seem To Experience Some Change And Some Growth On A Personal Level, And That Gives Me Hope.

Love's A Recurring Theme Through My Work.

I Found Myself In The Middle Of A Race Riot When I Was About 14 Years Old, And I Found Someone Pointing A Gun At Me And Telling Me To Run Or They'd Shoot Me.

Growing Up In Cleveland, I Learned About Singing From My Mother, Who Had Once Sung Professionally And Who Admired Mahalia Jackson And Aretha Franklin.

I Don't Try To Project Any Image At All, Other Than The Person That I Am.
