Sang Quotes

My father was an innovator. He’s the first person who sang and set Rumi’s poetry into music 35 years, 40 years ago Picture Quote #1

I wrote my first song, ‘Conversion’, to this little hip-hop instrumental. I went to an open-mic, plugged my iPod into the P.A., and sang over the beat Picture Quote #1

Celine Dion is one of my heroes. The first song I learned was My Heart Will Go On. And we sang Because You Loved Me for my mom which was a huge deal for me Picture Quote #1

The voice I have now, I got the first time I sang in a movement meeting, after I got out of jail... and I’d never heard it before in my life Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved the songs of the sea. I was first introduced to them back in 1957, at the Old Town School of Folk Music.

Yes. My mother was and still is a Folk Singer. She was very involved in the political movements for Unions and Civil rights. She sang with Pete Seeger among others. My father was an Actor Picture Quote #1

It was really fun. Well, Bobby was just basically a folk singer. He didn’t play with any bands or anything, like all the rest of us. Just played his guitar and sang his songs Picture Quote #1

The New York that Frank Sinatra sang about, people will never know that place. The New Orleans that Louis Armstrong sang about is the New Orleans that’s still there - it’s preserved Picture Quote #1

It is jazz music that called me to be a musician and I have always sang the songs that moved me the most. Singers, like Frank Sinatra and myself, we interpret the songs that we like. Not unlike a Shakespearean actor that goes back to the greatest words ever written, we go back to the greatest songs Picture Quote #1

I’ve been going around the world; I’ve been to China, I sang at the General Assembly, the Security Council Picture Quote #1

I started singing on the radio in Los Angeles. I sang blues, but I would tend toward country blues Picture Quote #1

I love Lady Gaga, Rihanna - all the pop girls like Katy Perry. I think Miley Cyrus is very talented, too. Apart from the visuals, which you may like or not like, but her music is quite good, actually. ‘Wrecking Ball’ is quite a good song, and she sang it really nicely Picture Quote #1

I had this thing about not giving too much of myself away, so I thought, if I sang lyrics, that’s giving too much away. You know, I really didn’t want to give myself away Picture Quote #1

Whenever they sang a certain song in church, I used to sing it the loudest: ‘Lead me, guide me, along the way!’ One day, as I was singing this song, I felt as if the Lord was saying to me, ‘Lead you along what way?’ I realized then that if you don’t have a plan, God doesn’t have anything specific to direct you in Picture Quote #1

One series of notes, high and delicate, sang of a sweet moonlight kiss gone sour; another line of music rippled with regret over opportunities forever lost Picture Quote #1

I’ve never really focused on if I had good habits when I sang or if I had bad habits, or if I was breathing correctly. So, I started doing vocal exercises and would stretch out before I sang, stuff to help my breathing. It’s funny, you breathe your whole life then you find out you’re not doing it correctly Picture Quote #1

I never thought I’d be a good influence on anybody with anything I did or said or sang Picture Quote #1

I didn’t go out on one date in high school. I played guitar and sang and wrote my own music and poetry and stuff when I was a teenager Picture Quote #1

I sang Patience by Guns N’ Roses for my sixth grade talent show and I wanted to be an actor when I was younger. It was all very, very theatrical. It was only later that I separated the two and thought of myself as quite the opposite of an actor Picture Quote #1

Frank [Sinatra] sang to you, not at you, like so many pop singers today. Even singers of standards. I never wanted to be a singer that sings at somebody. I’ve always wanted to sing to somebody. I would have gotten that subliminally from Frank many years ago. Hank Williams did that, too. He sang to you Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been happy with the quality of my work. I always felt as though my musicianship was lacking and that I should have worked harder at it when I was younger. As I sang and sang, I improved Picture Quote #1

When I auditioned for drama college, they asked me to do my Shakespeare. I couldn’t do it. They asked me to do my modern, and I couldn’t do it. They asked me if I had a song prepared, and I said ‘No,’ so I sang ‘Happy Birthday.’ And I did a reasonable improvisation, a reasonable one, nothing special at all. I don’t know how I got in, but I did Picture Quote #1

I was standing right behind Marilyn, completely invisible, when she sang ‘Happy birthday, Mr. President.’ And indeed, the corny thing happened: Her dress split for my benefit, and there was Marilyn, and yes, indeed, she didn’t wear any underwear Picture Quote #1
