First I Have A Collection Of All

I Grew Up Without A Father, And My Mother Grew Up Without A Father And Her Mother Grew Up Without A Father. So We Have This Long Heritage Of Growing Up Without Fathers.

I Have Been To More Than 80 Countries, And There Is Not One-not One-that I Didn't Have Women Coming Up To Me Sharing Stories Of Overcoming Major Abuse, A Bad Marriage Turning Good, Etc.

I Have Never Been A Different Person Onstage Than I Am Off.

Music Is My Life. The Only Other Thing I've Done Is Office Work In Different Places. But No Real Professional Career Other Than Singing.

My Audience Is Often Hands-up, Standing And Cheering And On Tables And All Of That Kind Of Things.
