The first record I bought with my own money was Rio.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't have a lot to do with the first record.
I think if you come first with a new world record, that is the best.
World records are only borrowed.
Rio was a period of my life, and then, poof, I'm gone. I was very young living here, just kind of floating. New York was a foundation for everything I do today. Rio was the bridge.
It only took me six months to get a record deal, but it took me 20 years to have a hit.
There was a time when I was - after my very first record from Nashville, I thought I might not be one of those who actually really makes it, and I may end up back in Canada, just playing clubs. And that might - this might have just been it.
This was during a period when I was producing Brazil '66 records and got infected by Brazilian music.
I did my first recording. It was called The Champ.
My first record I owned was by Les Paul.
Well, I had a record deal since I was 18, and it got me where I am.
