I have gotten more than I asked for. All that I ever wanted was to hear my voice on record and have a song among the Top 20.

The one thing I wanted to do more than anything else was sing country music.

I'd like to do my first record I ever made, A Church, a Courtroom, and Then Goodbye.

I recorded a song called, I Fall to Pieces, and I was in a car wreck. Now I'm worried because I have a brand-new record, and it's called Crazy!

I got me a hit record and I ain't never made a cent from it.

In childhood I developed a serious throat infection, and my heart stopped beating. I recovered from that illness with a voice that boomed forth like Kate Smith's!
