This above all makes history useful and desirable; it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.
My grandmother would sing in the choir, while my dad - while he was in college - sang and recorded with a quartet. So yeah, it was definitely my dad's Southern side that impacted on me musically.
And so while the great ones depart to their dinner, the secretary stays, growing thinner and thinner, racking his brain to record and report what he thinks that they think that they ought to have thought.
I remember singing around the house to records that were playing. All kinds of music. And the great James Cleveland was often in our house, and I grew up with his sound as well.
It was a dream come true performing with her and just being on the same record. So in my eyes, she was the epitome of a great voice and for us to share together was awesome.

I was following my muse and I was very fortunate in having good people around me and it turned out to be a pretty good recording in my opinion.
I always feel like there's something magic in recording studios. There's a reason good music continues to be made in them. It's just some mojo element.
