I was listening to an old Victrola, playing a railroad song...I thought that was the most wonderful, amazing thing...That you could take this piece of wax and music would come out of that box. From that day on, I wanted to sing on the radio.

Gospel music is so ingrained into my bones. I can't do a concert without singing a gospel song. It's what I was raised on.
