The American Pronunciation Guide Presents ''How to Pronounce On Stage''
00:06
Singing background remains a, I suppose, a somewhat unheralded position.
00:14
There's a power to these women that stand on stage with these guys.
00:20
It's a bit of a walk. That walk to the front is complicated.
00:25
Can you turn off the radio?
00:30
How could you logically not have a diva have her music on? I don't get that.
00:35
The rock and roll people like Bruce and Elton John and Stevie
00:40
wanted to know who that girl singer was.
00:45
My life has been all about trying to make a success of the gift that I had.
00:50

00:54

01:32
I just looked up and said, OK, you're supposed to be singing.
01:36
There's a whole world out there who wants to hear you sing.
01:41
They're in the game and they stayed in the game.
01:43
And they're legends.
01:45
It is my honor to induct into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
01:49
and about time to Miss Darlene Love.
02:10
And I'll be your queen!
