I was number three in a family of five boys -- and my brothers are still my best friends. Growing up in an Air Force family, I had a chance to travel this country several times. And growing up in the 50s and 60s, I heard some of the greatest music ever recorded. I try to bring the same fire and soulfulness I heard as a kid to my music. My career has gone from coach to teacher to consultant -- with a few detours -- but I've ALWAYS been a singer. It's what I do.
