Tags: Else, Feelings, RichBuddy Rich is one of a kind; he's a genius, and that's all there is to it.
Tags: Buddy, Genius, RichBecause Chicago was to radio what Hollywood was to films and Broadway was to the theatre: it was the hub of radio.

Tags: Fairness, Pretty, SongI got into radio when I was eight, and I was one of the busiest child dramatic actors in America.
Tags: America, Child, RadioI would be a liar if I said it wouldn't be lovely and soothing - that's the word - to have a hit single or a hit album.

Tags: Artist, Point, SceneI was a singer professionally when I was four years old, and I did not really begin to play any instrument - the first one, of course, was drums - till I was about nine years old.
