Sentimental Lady, because at this point, I'm 63 years old and been in show business
3:19
45 years, believe it or not. It's been like 42 years since Dreamgirls
3:26
and I think that I've grown as a singer. I think that my voice
3:30
is actually better, because the more I've learned about songs and music
3:37
and where I feel things, and you get to travel the world
3:42
and you get to understand different things. As you can tell, I'm really excited as an artist
3:49
as a singer, to share with everyone during this. It's also my first residency
3:58
Yeah, I've never played a club for more than a week, so to do two weeks
4:05
that's very exciting. Of course, I've done a Broadway show. You do eight shows a week
4:11
That I've done, but in terms of my own show, I'm excited
4:16
