So often the story of rock'n'roll is told from a male perspective. So often it feels like men own music. And I still get as angry and frustrated about that as I ever did. Reading those women's accounts of their lives has reminded me how much they paved the way back then. And history too often erases the women, in all art forms. Every single published story of a female artist goes a small way towards redressing the balance, and is another one saved from the fire.I didn't try to be a soul singer, a jazz singer, a blues singer – no category...My music is my expression of what I feel and believe in a moment.
