I was working all the time I was in college. I was working so much that I could hardly do my college work.

I've never believed in cheapening music by going according to what some people think is public taste.
I aim my arrangements at what will fit and colorfully frame the song in the best way possible.

Regardless of who originally made it popular, any hit song becomes a challenge to the ingenuity and imagination of other musicians and performers.
I did the Broadway album unfortunately in a year when there were no hits.
But Gene Norman has an album out of me.

Well, that's the secret of commerciality, a simple style and you stick with it.
There are a lot of people - when people like my music, people are crazy about my music.
My favorites are the exotic things and LA FEMME.
In a sense, a hit belongs to the person who made it popular, but if a tune is good enough to attain tremendous success, then it certainly deserves more than one version, one treatment, one approach.
