I Played With Arthur Godfrey For About

I Don't Wanna Get Rich - Just Live Good.

In Childhood I Developed A Serious Throat Infection, And My Heart Stopped Beating. I Recovered From That Illness With A Voice That Boomed Forth Like Kate Smith's!

Mother Would Come And Pick Me Up At Work And Take Me Wherever I Could Get A Job. Mother Didn't Trust Anybody With Me. Usually We'd Get Home At 3 In The Morning.

I Suppose I Could Have Sat Back And Pitied Myself. For A Time I Wondered If I'd Ever Be Able To Go On To A Stage And Perform Again. After A Couple Of Weeks I Began To Feel I Could Fight My Way Back To Health If I Put My Mind To It. I Thought To Myself: 'pity Never Did Anybody Any Good. Go On. Patsy, Show 'em What You Can Do'

I Can't Miss A Night's Work And Let My Public Down.
