I wear black because I’m comfortable in it. But then in the summertime when it’s hot I’m comfortable in light blue.
Larry King Live, CNN, November 26, 2002.
I got married and moved to Memphis, got an apartment, started trying to sell appliances at a place called Home Equipment Company. But I couldn’t sell anything and didn’t really want to. All I wanted was the music, and if somebody in the house was playing music when I would come, I would stop and sing with them.
