50 Years Old Is Like Springtime To

I Had My Schooling Right There In The Cotton Club.

I Don't Have To Be An Imitation Of A White Woman That Hollywood Sort Of Hoped I'd Become. I'm Me, And I'm Like Nobody Else.

50 Years Old Is Like Springtime To Me.

After I Got Over The Terrible Pain Of Having Something Of Mine Taken From Me, I Began To Think How Bad Everybody Else Must Be Feeling. It Wasn't A Nice Time.

I Was Lucky, As Many Of My Generation Was, In Having A Man Like Dr. King In Our Lives. He Came At A Time That We Needed To Take A Long Look At Each Other And See How Similar We Were.
