 But, we didn't have all the media that we do today. |
| If something pops in my mind and it's easy, I write it. |
| I really appreciate people like Rosie coming out and saying I've inspired them. |
| If I needed to record, I'd head to the coast or Nashville, one or the other. |
| None of the other guys in the band really sang, so that's when I brought Roy Clark in. |
| And it wasn't until '84 when I was first asked to come to Sweden and do an album and concert tour. |
| So, it's nice to know that you've inspired someone to do their life's work. |
| Right, different generations come along, and discover the music, I think. |
| I have eighteen titles in the German language. I had a number one song in 1965. |
| Well, I didn't really have a plan. I just wanted a hit. |
| It seems like the good things that have happened in my career are things that you don't try to plan and push, and make it happen, it just seems to happen. |
| Getting comments like that from even the young people at the shows who probably aren't singers, the girls who just tell me that I'm an inspiration to them, for one reason or another. |
| There wasn't so many ISSUES like there are today. It was a simpler time. |
| I learned so much about recording and about singing on records from Ken Nelson. |
| As I go back and listen, the other girls weren't singing quite like I was. |
| Yeah, they let me do whatever I wanted to. |
| You know, no one steered people's careers in those days, I don't think, like they do today. |
| I enjoyed listening to it, but I didn't think I could do it. |
| You could have a hit in California that no one had heard of in Oklahoma. |
| On that show, I did country and some rock, too, whatever record I had out at the time, I'd sing that. |
