I Sing The Songs That People Need

That's Where It Begins And Ends For Me And These Songs Were The Ones That Touched Me The Deepest. It Was Like I Was Laying Hold Of Some Part Of Me That I Didn't Even Know Was There Until I Let It Out.

It Feels So Good To Be Happy.

A Lot Of People Think The Blues Is Depressing But That's Not The Blues I'm Singing. When I'm Singing Blues, I Singing Life. People Can't Stand To Listen To The Blues, They've Got To Be Phonies.

They Said That Etta James Is Still Vulgar. I Said, Oh, How Dare Them Say I'm Still Vulgar. I'm Vulgar Because I Dance In The Chair. What Would They Want Me To Do? Want Me To Just Be Still Or Something Like That? I've Got To Do Something.
