Everyone in my record collection -- Sam and Dave, Marvin Gaye, all the Motown acts, Ruth Brown, all the legendary people from the '40s, '50s and '60s -- have still never received any royalties, ... because they still owe money. |
He really changed the way that people sing, |
He used to let me open for him and he tuned my guitar. |
He's like having my very own Jimi Hendrix, ... There's simply nothing he can't play well. |
I am very excited to get in this early (in my career), especially being the only woman tonight, ... to last this long (in the music business) is enough for me. |
I Can't Make You Love Me. |
I don't think there's ever been any music quite like what we came up with. |
I Don't Want Anything to Change. |
I just was knocked over by the obvious roots of the blues. |
I think my fans will follow me into our combined old age. Real musicians and real fans stay together for a long, long time. |
I was very touched, and very happy that Kelly won. It was such a Cinderella story. |
I Will Not Be Broken. |
I would rather feel things in extreme than not at all. |
I'm certain that it was an incredible gift for me to not only be friends with some of the greatest blues people who've ever lived, but to learn how they played, how they sang, how they lived their lives, ran their marriages, and talked to their kids. |
I'm completely thrilled to be a part of this. I have to say, this is the highlight of the summer for me. This is one of a kind and long overdue. It's the best vibe I've ever seen backstage and onstage as well. |
