Singer Quotes

I’m an old soul. I like the Nat King Cole; Sam Cooke is my favorite singer of all time. But I’m into neo-soul; I’m into R Picture Quote #1

Coming from the U.K., I can think of so many great songs and musical moments that didn’t require a belter of a voice; my favorite singer is Kate Bush and she’s not a belter, or PJ Harvey... I’m definitely more of an alternative girl Picture Quote #1

Frank Sinatra was a great singer, but my favourite is Sammy Davis Jr. He had incredible versatility in his voice, often doing impressions of people. It’s always going to be classic, and you’ll never get bored listening Picture Quote #1

I am Athena. Before that I was Thea, singer and slave and lover of gladiators. Before that I was Leah, daughter of Benjamin and Rachael of Masada. I am as mortal as you, you common little man. And I fear no one! Picture Quote #1

I was really learning my craft as a jazz singer and working with some great players and all, really growing and feeling my wings Picture Quote #1

I knew I wanted to be a singer from the age of five. I’ve been lucky to be so single-minded - some of my friends still don’t know what they want to do, and they’re finding it hard. There are home videos of me singing and taking centre stage at family parties when I’m about three Picture Quote #1

I’ve never written a song that’s hopeless. I’m not a hopeless person. I’m crazily optimistic. I crazily see the good in people. - singer Michael Stipe of R.E.M.

I wanted the focus to be on my ability as a singer and as an entertainer - not on my private life Picture Quote #1

If someone asked what kind of music I play, I wouldn’t say I’m a folk singer; however, if folk music means music for the people, and playing music to entertain them and share different messages, then sure, I’d like to think that I’m part folk singer Picture Quote #1

Pete Seeger is a modest, unassuming, cheerful, and kind-natured man. He’s a good folk singer, if you can stand folk singing. And he’s such an excellent banjo player that you almost don’t wish you had a pair of wire cutters Picture Quote #1

I was in a rock band; I was my own folk singer; I was in a death metal band for a very short time; I was in a cover band, a jazz band, a blues band. I was in a gospel choir Picture Quote #1

Dave Van Ronk, for those who don’t know him - probably most don’t know - was a folk singer. He’s kind of the biggest person on the scene in 1961 in the folk revival in Greenwich Village, biggest person on the scene until Bob Dylan showed up Picture Quote #1

I love a lot of music that’s considered folk music, but I also love a lot of music that’s considered punk or considered rap. I don’t mind being called a folk singer. But it seems a bit limiting. I want to be able to write whatever kind of song I want Picture Quote #1

My mom was a folk singer and Celtic harpist. My dad was in a barbershop quartet and my great grandma was an opera singer. As I grew up, I discovered pop music and Top 40 radio, but it was in the 90s, so music was very different then - it was really lyrical Picture Quote #1
