money sight singing
I like to sing ballads the way Eddie Fisher does and the way Perry Como does. But the way I'm singing now is what makes the money.
hate jam lasts
That's why I hate to get started in these jam sessions. I'm always the last one to leave.
years two-year-olds dancing
Since I was two years old, all I knew was gospel music. That music became such a part of my life it was as natural as dancing. A way to escape from the problems. And my way of release.
growing-up real kind
Everything is so dreamy when you are young. After you grow up it kind of becomes -- just real.
television broke whole
They put me on television. And the whole thing broke loose. It was wild, I tell ya for sure.
thinking rocks long
A lot of people seem to think I started this business. But rock 'n' roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that kind of music like colored people. Let's face it: I can't sing like Fats Domino can. I know that.
four jackie shows
I did the Ed Sullivan show four times. I did the Steve Allen show. I did the Jackie Gleason show.
want fans shirts
My fans want my shirt. They can have my shirt. They put it on my back.
tired fighting guy
I get tired of playing a guy who gets into a fight, then starts singing to the guy he's just beat up.
witty trying wells
I can't sing very well but I'd like to try.
fans care hell
Take care of the fans and they will sure as hell take care of you.
men shoes criticize
Don't criticize that man unless you have walked in his shoes.
love-you should-have always-on-my-mind
Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could have Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
song real humor
It's all a big hoax, honey. I never wrote a song in my life. I get one-third of the credit for recording it. It makes me look smarter than I am. I've never even had an idea for a song. Just once, mybe.
