I've always wanted to sing, just as I've always known that one day I would have my own niche in the annals of song. It was a feeling I had.
Edith Piaf

That was the big thing when I was growing up, singing on the radio. The extent of my dream was to sing on the radio station in Memphis. Even when I got out of the Air Force in 1954, I came right back to Memphis and started knocking on doors at the radio station.
Johnny Cash

I don't know what makes a guy want to write songs and sing, but if you've got a message, you want to get it across. When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.
Chris LeDoux

They were so good that you just had to sing the song to them once and they got it. It's amazing. Sometimes it didn't come out the way you wanted, but it was good.
Chris LeDoux

I love to go on stage and sing.
Henry Rollins

Dope never helped anybody sing better or play music better or do anything better. All dope can do for you is kill you - and kill you the long, slow, hard way.
Billie Holiday

If I'm going to sing like someone else, then I don't need to sing at all.
Billie Holiday

In the olden days, everybody sang. You were expected to sing as well as talk. It was a mark of the cultured man to sing.
Leonard Bernstein

There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing.
Billy Sunday

I think I could sing and shear a few sheep at the same time.
Robert Plant

I think celebrities have an obligation to the public to not just sing or act.
Clay Aiken

Sing the songs of joy to the Lord, serve the Name of the Lord, and become the servant of His servants.
Guru Nanak

All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song.
Louis Armstrong

It was my 16th birthday - my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do - write songs and sing them to people.
Stevie Nicks

I preferred not to be laden down with a big instrument. If you're behind a guitar, you get used to being behind a guitar, and you don't really perform because you can't. I wanted to be able to just hold on to the mike and sing.
Stevie Nicks

I sing about life.
Marvin Gaye

I have the ability to sing with emotion and feeling, but if you say I sound like Billie Holiday, that's cool. Let's look at who Billie was: she was this person, this singer, this beautiful diva who could move the audience with the slightest gesture of her hand.
Erykah Badu

I love to sing old Motown songs to myself, or some Patti Smith Edith Piaf or Billie Holiday. That gets me in the mood for singing.
Siobhan Fahey

Swans sing before they die - 'twere no bad thing should certain persons die before they sing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes... sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage.
Puff Daddy
