"She was my hero, she was my mentor, she was my idol. 

I got to know her very very well and I was very proud that I did, because she was a real buddy of mine. 

I think there's a whole life in this voice for her to sing the songs that she sings - I mean you could cry listening to her and I just think she was like a beautiful ebony statue. 

Great songs."
