Clapton asked my brother to play on his record. I thought that was the most wonderful thing in the world.

The best advice I got really had nothing to do with singing; it came from my brother, who always told me to stick to my guns and to believe in myself. I think Duane saw my talents and believed in me long before I ever did, and that meant the world to me.
