I don't know why people call me a jazz singer, though I guess people associate me with jazz because I was raised in it, from way back. I'm not putting jazz down, but I'm not a jazz singer...I've recorded all kinds of music, but (to them) I'm either a jazz singer or a blues singer. I can't sing a blues – just a right-out blues – but I can put the blues in whatever I sing. I might sing 'Send In the Clowns' and I might stick a little bluesy part in it, or any song. What I want to do, music-wise, is all kinds of music that I like, and I like all kinds of music.

I hold no dream of fortune vast,Nor seek undying fame.I do not ask when life is pastThat many know my name.I may not own the skill to riseTo glory's topmost height,Nor win a place among the wise,But I can keep the right.And I can live my life on earthContented to the end,If but a few shall know my worthAnd proudly call me friend.
