from the canvas of afro-art-chick:
“Being a singer is a natural gift. It means I’m using to the highest degree possible the gift that God gave me to use. I’m happy with that.”
“If a song’s about something I’ve experienced or that could’ve happened to me it’s good. But if it’s alien to me, I couldn’t lend anything to it. Because that’s what soul is all about.”
“I always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.”
“I sing to the realists; people who accept it like it is.”
“My faith always has been and always will be important to me.”
Happy 70th Birthday to legendary singer, songwriter, pianist and the undisputed “Queen of Soul”, Aretha Louise Franklin (born March 25, 1942)
from the canvas of afro-art-chick:
“I’m an interpreter of stories. When I perform it’s like sitting down at my piano and telling fairy stories.”
“Music is emotional, and you may catch a musician in a very unemotional mood or you may not be in the same frame of mind as the musician. So a critic will often say a musician is slipping.”
“I’m a musician at heart, I know I’m not really a singer. I couldn’t compete with real singers. But I sing because the public buys it. “
“I may be helping to bring harmony between people through my music.”
“I am famous because I am an African American jazz artist.”
Happy Birthday to legendary musician Nathaniel Adams Coles, known professionally as Nat King Cole (b. March 17, 1919 – d. February 15, 1965).
from the canvas of afro-art-chick:
“Songwriting is my gift from God.”
“Once you`re a Motown artist, you`re always a Motown artist.”
“We`re very physical creatures, and we worry about how we look sometimes more than our spiritual selves.”
“When someone picks up one of my songs and records it, I`m a flattered man, it`s a blessing to me.”
“That`s because we did not set out to make black music. We set out to make quality music that everyone could enjoy and listen to.”
“Motown will always be a heavy-duty part of my life because those are my roots.”
Happy 72nd Birthday to R&B singer-songwriter, record producer, and former record executive, William “Smokey” Robinson, Jr. (born February 19, 1940)
