I got everything I wanted. When I was young in Kansas City, I knew nothing about Frank Sinatra, Billy Eckstine, Ella Fitzgerald, of all those concert halls, of all those countries.

I look at the careers of people I'm standing on the shoulders of. People like Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., and Sarah Vaughan. These are icons I wanted to emulate, and I feel like they've been holding me up for quite a long time.

I want you, he muttered. Get rid of him and take me. The only risk is losing someone you don't have anyway. He's not what you need, Ella. I am Unbelievable, I said in disgust. What's unbelievable? Your ego. It's surrounded by its own cloud of antimatter. You're a black hole of...of hubris!
