A singer starts by having his instrument as a gift from God... When you have been given something in a moment of grace, it is sacrilegious to be greedy.
Marian Anderson

My mother was the first singer I had contact with. She sang constantly to us around the house, in church.
Whitney Houston
Image
When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life.
Whitney Houston
Image
There lived a singer in France of old By the tideless dolorous midland sea. In a land of sand and rain and gold There shone one woman, and none but she.

What Autotune allows is for people like myself and Kanye West not to depend on the singer. Back in the Fifties, the songwriter was rendered invisible. Now the songwriter is there in the forefront.

All the intelligence and talent in the world can't make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can't be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.
Willa Cather

I wasn't one of those kids that was like I'm going to be a country music singer or I'm going to be the next Pat Green and stuff. Hell, I didn't even think it was possible. I wrote to write. It wasn't even a thought in my head that I could do it professionally.
William Clark Green

I call my backup singers my sister wives. To me, they are my best friends. We are all super close. It's kind of like the closest relationship you can have without being blood related, to me. It's a joke that they're sister wives - obviously, we're not polygamists.

I'm a terrible singer. I feel lucky to play baseball. You can't be gifted in everything.
Alex Rodriguez

I enjoyed hearing people do their own songs. I became attracted to singer-songwriters. I became interested in them as people was curious about what they wanted to say.
Lyle Lovett

I am not the worst singer.
William Hung

Praise be to Nero's Neptune The Titanic sails at dawn And everybody's shouting Which Side Are You On? And Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot Fighting in the captain's tower While calypso singers laugh at them And fishermen hold flowers.
Bob Dylan

I was not able to understand how it could be right to pay an actor, or a singer, or an instrumentalist for entertaining the public and wrong to pay a ball player for doing exactly the same thing.
Albert Goodwill Spalding
Image
Commercial to the core, Elvis was the kind of singer dear to the heart of the music business. For him to sing a song was to sell asong. His G clef was a dollar sign.
Albert Goldman
Image
When life takes the wind out of your sails, it is to test you at the oars.
Robert Breault

A singer can quit once he or she has made ten great songs a director can finish once he or she has made five amazing films a writer just needs to write three great books.
Alber Elbaz

John [Lennon] as a singer - the way he sings on Twist and Shout and the way he sings on Strawberry Fields Forever - is a very odd voice, in the sense that it seems to be celebrating but almost mourning at the same time. There's a quality of mourning to his voice, which is very enigmatic.
Alasdair MacLean

I love music I was never the type of singer to say, This is my specific genre, or I only sing R&B music. I feel like as a singer, you should be limitless and you shouldn't be stuck in a box.
Heather Headley

I've listened to Jazz since I was born and always knew I'd be a Jazz singer!
Jane Monheit
Image
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

Rock ’n roll is really swing with a modern name. It began on the levees and plantations, took in folk songs, and features blues and rhythm. It's the rhythm that gets to the kids – they're starved of music they can dance to, after all those years of crooners.
Alan Freed

In the end, we shall recognize our song and sing it well. You may feel a little warbly at the moment, but so have all the great singers. Just keep singing and you’ll find your way home.
Alan Cohen

I've been blessed because there are a lot of great singers out there that didn't make it past their first album.
Ruben Studdard

Everyone's a singer now, thanks to karaoke, for better and for much worse. But the live band is now becoming ancient history in Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma.
