You are pretty press people.
Beautiful press people.
Are you sure all these people are press?
You're the most beautiful press people.
You don't have a press pass.
Because you're not press, are you?
No, but I
See, I know.
I'm a professional.
But it's alright.
Hey.
How's everybody?
Very good.
I'm just
I'm too old for this.
Wonderful show tonight.
Oh, I had a good time.
Yeah, you did.
Oh, my goodness.
You know
He told us about your musicians.
The guys you had on tape.
Oh, Lord.
Well, you know about Barry Eastman?
Longtime friend and partner in crime.
Bernard Davis on drums.
I didn't introduce him!
Guys!
[G] I'm so sorry.
Bernard Davis.
[N]
Ron Jenkins is on bass.
He's coming.
And
They're just changing.
They're changing floors.
I'm sorry.
Ron Jenkins on bass.
This is Mr.
Aaron Fletcher.
This was his first time on stage with us today.
And the girls are going to come by and say hello.
But to answer your question, these guys came together for me at the request of Barry Eastman
when I was trying to get my sea legs back, when I didn't know if I could do this anymore.
And they just
they did my show without me rehearsing with them.
And we've been together since
I came back since 03.
Oh, yeah.
Late 02, early 03.
Phil, you know, is with everybody from Luca Vanzoss to me to
everybody.
Everybody.
Everybody calls Bernie now.
And Ron is just
Ron is
I mean, you know, just like the bass, just holds it down and is steady.
That's his influence here, you know, on me.
I can just turn around and just
it's all right.
It's all right.
Whatever it is, it's all right.
Next question.
Okay.
The hand was tight, but did your other eyelash fall off?
You know what?
I took the other one off because it just made no sense.
But, you know, I like the fact that [Eb] nothing about this show is set, you know, it's spontaneous.
If an eyelash falls off, I'm [N] just going to let it fall off.
You know, if we change the set list, we change the set list.
If we want to vamp a little bit longer on the intro till we find it, do that.
It's spontaneous.
I just
I love it.
It's live.
I'm sorry.
I'm turning my back.
With everyone like Gladys Knight and others doing a book of great American standards,
something like that maybe in your future?
I don't know.
You know what?
I think [G] the Christmas record
[A] I remember.
I know [B] that one.
It's
[N] kind of a prelude probably to something like that.
But there's just so many
man, there's just so many songs I want to sing.
I just hope I have time, you know?
I'm sorry.
Yeah, you can stop.
I'm good.
Hi.
I was wondering, I have two questions.
One is what accounted for the long delay, and also what up-and-coming female singers do you admire?
Jill Scott, NDR Re, from Broadway.
Heather Hadley.
Heather Hadley.
Heather Hadley.
Oh, Lordy.
Oh, oh.
The little girl from
Oh, jeez, I'm old.
I'll be 49 in a minute.
I'll think of her name.
I'll think of her name.
But she's with Sean Paul.
Sean Paul.
Oh, Alicia Keys has already arrived.
Come on.
Keisha Cole.
Keisha Cole has
She has heart.
Ain't nobody gave her the songs yet.
You know, she just
I feel that girl.
And she's got the pipes to go along with it.
There's tons of great young artists out here.
They're just not being nurtured the way they should be.
You know, John Legend.
There's great artists out here.
Y'all just gotta go call their publicists and get them some press and get them out there.
I'm sorry.
Hi, thank you.
What brings you here?
Wait, you asked another question.
Oh, I asked you what happened?
The show was late?
Okay, I'm a woman [D] and I couldn't get it together.
[Ab] I apologize.
I mean, the humidity.
Look at me.
[A] I mean, I can't keep my hair [F] do.
My dress was stretchy.
It was stretching in the heat.
We were hiking it up and pinning it.
I'm a woman.
You know what I'm saying?
[Dm]
Thank [B] [A] you.
Anita, [B] you brought us lots of joy today.
What brings you joy?
[G] And when can we see you in London?
That.
[A] That up there on stage.
I would kill for [G] it.
I would crawl to it.
I would do [N] it with popcorn and potato chips.
You know.
Can we get a shot with your background?
Oh, right!
Nice to meet you guys.
All of you together, man.
Introduce yourselves.
I'm Carolyn Perry.
Hi.
I'm Paula Holloway.
Hi, Paula.
I'm Darlene Perry.
Oh, oh, oh, and our newest addition, Mr.
Rock Bedrick on percussion.
The Rock.
