But this is pretty new for me, both songwriting and singing.
I bet Maurice Gibb's heart monitor was singing the tune of Stayin' Alive.
Singing is the love of my life, but I was ready to give it all up because I couldn't handle people talking about how fat I was.
Nothing I have done professionally will top the feeling I got when singing with John Farnham at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.
I recorded harp first or singing first. I recorded it all together. Part of the reason is that I don't know how to play the songs without also singing. I forget how they progress. I don't think that any of them are verse, chorus, verse, and so on. They are not simple.
The very first Walnut Whales recording was recorded just a few weeks after I had started singing, out of the blue, started singing. And the voice, you can hear how uncomfortable I am with it, and how terrified I am with it.
I was influenced a lot by those around me - there was a lot of singing that went on in the cotton fields.
If I didn't think and feel the way I think and feel, I couldn't sing the way I sing. And I like singing the way I sing.
Ever since I was a little kid, whenever my parents would have company over, I would put on shows, whether they would be magic shows, singing shows, dancing shows, little skits.
They were singing in French, but the melody was freedom and any American could understand that.
There has always been a feeling with people that they love my singing but not always the choice of material.
When you find yourself on stage singing and you are embarrassed about what you are singing in front of your peers, then you have to think about your priorities.
I grew up thinking that singing was my security.
My energy to sing, I get it from my singing. Singing was not a reason to make a living. This is the only thing I wanted to do.
When I was singing, everybody liked me.
