she loved alice fitzgerald and 9 a washington -- loved ella fitzgerald and dynah washington.this record while my parents were still around. tavis: how did you take this material? >> i wanted to sing songs i was comfortable with. i would throw out an idea for a song, and we would get lyric sheets and noodle around, but mostly, i wanted this album to have a mood and ran through the record. tavis: how you know what is right for your boy ivoice? what does that mean? >> i think you have to have a sense of what your range is. i did a baritone. it did not fit me. i seem to be in the tony bennett, nat king cole range, so nothing too hard, nothing to lowud. tavis: what did your parents have to say about this? >> it is my favorite record i have ever -- it is their favorite record i have ever written a regular for them to hear my interpretation of dynah washington, it really takes them back. i suspect this is the case for most of us. how important is it for you to do something your parents like? >> i do not think that ever goes away. here i am after 40 years going, mom, deal like this?
