At this concert we did in Toronto, there must have been 10 kids or so, ages five and up, standing in front of the stage and dancing, … That makes me feel terrific.

We’ve been very fortunate,

I don’t know where that sound comes from,

That guy was Neil Sedaka, … We also grew up with Carole King and Neil Diamond. We all grew up together and we would sing in each other’s houses.

I still live in Rockland County, N.Y., so this is almost like being home for me, … And how can you have a more beautiful backdrop than the Manhattan skyline? It’s perfect. I’m looking forward...
