It Doesn't Matter To Me What Is

I Do Not Believe In Mixing Of The Races. You Can Quote Me. I Don't Believe In It, And I Never Have. I've Never Changed. I've Never Changed My Hair. I've Never Changed My Color, I Have Always Been Proud Of Myself, And My Fans Are Proud Of Me For Remaining The Way I've Always Been. I Married A White Man One Time, But He Was A Creep

Music Is The Center Of My Life.

I Was Reared In The Church From The Age Of Three. I've Played Piano Since I Was Three. I Performed At Revivals And For My People Around North Carolina For Several Years. People Around Town Collected Money To Send Me To School.

I Know I'm Different, But I Don't Think About It.

How Can You Be An Artist And Not Reflect The Times?
