That's all there was in our house: poetry and choir rehearsal and duets and so forth; I listened to Dad and Mother discuss things about poetry and delivery and voice and diction - I don't think anyone could know how much it really means.

Late in my career, I was asked to do an inspirational record and a duets album and I didn't want to do either.

The music industry is really funny when you have a hit record everyone knows who are you everyone wants to do duets with you then if you have a miss people suffer from amnesia.
