Clark Peters

I was singing the wrong key, but... It was still lovely, though.

Yeah.

I mean, down low on the keyboard.

I'm a bass baritone with tenor tendencies, that's what I like to say.

You know, as it came out of my mouth, I thought, yes, that's probably the wrong way to put it.

Yes, yes.

By the time we got to Porgy and Porgy and Bess, that's in my middle range.

I was Porgy.

Yeah, yeah.

I liked, I loved that.

I'm not going to sing that one, Terry.

Let's go back to why I came to England.

I can address that particular question through theater.

Okay?

What England...

had to offer or the way i feel i was successful in in england was first of all because i was an american secondly because i was a black american and because the culture of america concerning entertainers in theater and in musicals is something that is already part of our culture of the american culture in england

People of color here, coming from the Caribbean or coming from Africa, do not have that same sensibility in theater, particularly at that particular point in time in musicals.

So it was, to a large degree, it was easier for me than my Caribbean or African counterpart to get the same roles.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

No.
