I can remember in the early 60s that there were a couple of really dynamic women performers at the time - brenda lee, there was connie francis.
Actually, the funny thing is, after all these years, i've got all these new songs to learn for the show we're doing at joe's pub, so it's kind of fun to get down and rehearse new things, and also rethink some of the older songs, how we're going to do them.
You know, quincy jones was a great mentor, but he was a man in a man's world. fortunately he's a very sensitive man and a beautiful human being, and even though he was 14 or 15 years older than me, he's a capable human being and has great communication skills.

It's my party and i'll cry if i want to.
You know, the interesting thing about having traveled around the country as much as i have, and i think it's sort of inadvertently what made me come out or at least begin doing things within the community and thinking more about that, was that i get to travel quite a bit.
And i thought, you know, a little gender confusion makes a better person. a little adversity in life at an early age. it's character building.
