I'm sure any vocal teacher that listens to me would rather cut my throat than do anything - I do everything all wrong - but I think for me that's the best - because I don't think I have a voice so I think what I project would be style - if I learned to sing I'd lose my style.Collection: Teacher
We've performed in South America and in Japan.
The one appearance that I made for President Kennedy, he, as I understand, had his choice or was asked to make a list of the people he would like to have perform, and I was fortunate enough to be one of them.

Bobby was one of the few people I had ever known who really wanted to do something for me.
Bobby Troup and I have been working together for about a year in clubs. We work in the same club.
Bobby had faith in my ability as a singer.
