A lot of what I have always done is do other singers.
Boz Scaggs

All kids, when they go to school, are pretty good artists and dancers and singers and poets. All that gets buried, basically through being educated, or brainwashed.
William Wiley

Americans can pretty much sing anything, whereas foreign singers are often limited in style, language, even composer.
Marilyn Horne

And the thing that I always tried to do with important singers when I met them was to sit down and record everything they knew, give them a first real run-through of their art.
Alan Lomax

Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
Janis Joplin

But I think it is more difficult to do a career as a lieder singer, and there have been less lieder singers.
Victoria de los Angeles

But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.
Little Richard

Dorsey played the upright bass and steel guitar, as well as acoustic guitar. Johnny played acoustic guitar and together they were fabulous songwriters and singers.
Jimmy Griffin

First of all, ladies and gentlemen, you must forget that you are singers.
Claude Debussy

For Hunchback, we needed this live, gigantic choir. So we went to London and said, This is Disney! I need singers who can sing high D's, hold them for 18 seconds, and do it 60 times!
David Friedman

Getting comments like that from even the young people at the shows who probably aren't singers, the girls who just tell me that I'm an inspiration to them, for one reason or another.
Wanda Jackson

God uses singers in a mighty way, and I am grateful.
Martha Reeves

He was a manager, one of the singers, I guess talent coordinator for the local talent in Harlem. His name was Lover Patterson. He was living right across the street from where my dad had his restaurant. I guess he saw a lot of kids come in, a lot of my buddies.
Ben E. King

I always considered myself being an organizer. I'm very good at teaching singers, I'm very good at staging a show, to entertain people. But I never included myself. I never applied this to me as an artist.
Ike Turner

I believe I became one of the first singers to be launched via television exposure. I guess I was a new kind of musical stylist for a new kind of media.
Brenda Lee

I don't know many singers who actually do like the sound of their own voice.
Roger Daltrey

I get along with all the women singers, but especially Dolly Parton. We talk the same hillbilly language.
Loretta Lynn

I got a scholarship to Seattle University and I was writing arrangements for singers and everybody. But the music course was too dry and I really wanted to get away from home.
Quincy Jones

I had different bands. I played with the Acoustic Warriors for the most part, without girl singers. It was the same kind of sound, acoustic guitar, bass, with violin and sometimes accordion, and the guys would sing, that kind of thing.
Dan Hicks

I had four or five years in school training as a soprano. I fell into pop singing because of economics. I got out of high school and had to go work, and they weren't hiring opera singers.
