I started listening to gospel when I was a little boy and my grandmother used to rock me on her lap.

The gospel music and doo-wop is what has informed me personally.

I really like listening to music in my car.

I'll be singing with The Blind Boys of Alabama, which is a great joy to me. I've done some work with them before, and they truly are amazing.

I've done all different kinds of genres - doo-wop, pop, funk, gospel, country, jazz, you name it.

I buried Joel on our 48th anniversary. I had been with her since I was 16.
