My grandparents raised me. My mother was only 17 when I was born so my grandparents raised me until I was 14 years old and everybody drank. Everybody in the family had a drinking problem, so the only way I felt happy when I was a kid was singing. But I was singing all the time. My grandfather called me \u201clittle song\u201d because I was constantly singing. That\u2019s how music saved my life because every time I felt sad or something not so nice happened in my life, I would sing about it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Sheila Jordan In Memoriam<\/h3>\n<p>Cita tomada de la entrevista realizada en <em>20 Questions<\/em>, publicada en junio de 2020, y realizada por Zoom a Sheila Jordan.
