"Although people sometimes act like they think so, a singer is not like a saxophone. If you don't sound right, you can't go out and get some new reeds, split them just right. A singer is only a voice, and a voice is completely dependent on the body God gave you. When you walk out there and open your mouth, you never know what's going to happen."
Billie Holiday, Lady Sings the Blues.

David Phelps and I wrote about this from Cannes, and I'll hopefully be publishing an interview with Costa end of this week or beginning of the next...
