The Beatles are lucky, very lucky. But what has happened to them has nothing to do with them, in a sense. They came along at the right time. Attention was focused on them. They've had the chance to grow in almost any direction they wanted. Very lucky. They are not exceptionally talented.
Nina Simone

Nina Simone
Image
You don't have to live next to me / Just give me my equality.
Nina Simone

I was not reluctant to become a singer. Singing has been an activity I've done my whole life, without thought.
