I did work in a strip club, but I didn't strip. I danced, and I became very popular.
I was a bouncer for ten years in New York City.
I spent my youth playing music, and I worked a lot in New Jersey and New York clubs. At 18, I worked all around Hudson, Essex, and Bergen counties.
I was working at this club in downtown L.A. from four to eight at night, just Eddie Rubin, the drummer, and I.
My first job was at a Chicago night club called Mr. Kelly's.
Bobby Troup and I have been working together for about a year in clubs. We work in the same club.
I came here knowing nobody. I worked clubs as a singer and even the doors a few times before I landed some TV roles.
I stayed with them for about a year up there and, at night, worked over in Long Island at a club called The High Hat Club which was like a pseudo jazz / blues place.
Work in nightclubs was interesting. There were interesting people and places, but by and large, the commercial music experience.
The family is something you are always missing, but it has to be like this. It is not easy for any manager to be with your family, in your house, and working at your nearest club. So you have to travel.
I've been singing since I was 8 years old and working in clubs since I was 14. I've been working full time since I was 16.
I started working at clubs when I was sixteen, which is young. I would not want my kid doing that, but I did, and that's how it went.
When I started in the clubs, I had to work places where didn't nobody else want to work. I had to do clubs where street gangs were, had to do motorcycle gangs, gay balls and things of that nature.
