Well, over the years, I've developed a stable of songs of which I'm known for and never get tired of singing..
I have one message for young musicians around the world. Stay true to your heart, believe in yourself, and work hard..
Europe is usually where I am usually galloping around..
Love lift us up where we belong..
I would like to be able to do a song with Ray Charles, before we both get too old..
I've been touring now since about '68. I was in Germany when the wall came down. Unfortunately I was in New York when 9/11 happened..
Making music, if youre a real musician, you carry on, regardless in this world..

I have always been a sucker for ballads, but you have to be careful these days, you can't overload people..
For me, the focus are songs, which really get the audience moving..
I love songs that have a rocking and grooving feeling..
