No one, but no one, is equal, or ever will be. Elvis was and is supreme.

I wanted it to be like Amy Grant, but it didn't pan out that way. My label actually went bankrupt, and I was left without a home.

I do like Britney Spears. I think she's cute. I think she's fun. And I like her records. You know, I'm not a pop snob whatsoever. I think she makes great pop records.

I thought, 'My God, this is like Buddy Guy on acid.'

Amy [Winehouse] changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.

I always loved those songs. And with my high tenor, I thought I was pretty good - you know? - almost as good as Dennis Day.
