Like all soul singers I grew up singing in church but sometimes I would leave early and sit in the car listening to gospel band The Blind Boys of Alabama. Hearing their lead singer Clarence made me connect the idea of church and show business and see how I could make a career singing music that stirred the soul.
I listened to it last night for the first time since we started this project. I went out to my car and put it in and went to an empty parking lot and just listened and read the little pamphlet that came with it. After two or three songs I burst into tears.
I listen to KCRW in the car and Pandora radio which I stream through the stereo from my iPhone. I've been listening to everything from Caribou to Conway Twitty. If I'm going on a longer car ride I'll download some podcasts.
I really like listening to music in my car.
When I finish an album and I find myself listening to it in the car because it makes me feel a certain way that's the time to try to let other people know about it.
On the average I don't spend more than 15 minutes in the car - to go to the golf course or the gym. And that's the only time I listen to the radio.
I never listen to music in the house I listen to music in the car.
I love Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert - they write from the heart. But it's hard to find a country music lover in L.A. None of my friends really listen to it and they hate getting in the car with me because I just blast Taylor Swift.
That's what I love. Not being interrupted sitting in a car by myself and listening to music in the rain. There are so many great songs yet to sing.
I read murder mysteries. I exercise 40 minutes a day. I watch videotapes while I exercise. I listen to audiotapes when I am in my car. And I try to stay in three different centuries.
I don't want a flashy car just something that would allow me to stop using the Tube. And it would be good not to have to rely on my mum all the time particularly when I have to listen to her singing in her car.
Before now I've always taken my mixes out to the car and listened to them in the parking lot. I still do that but more so now I'm listening to it on the Beat box and I think people should give it at least a listen and check it out and see what it is.
I've got CDs in my car listening all the time for that next song because everybody's looking.
I don't listen to the radio very much but that could be because I don't have a car.
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
I grew up listening to show tunes in the back of the car.
The TV business is like the produce section of the market. Today everything is fresh and glistening and firm. And tomorrow when they find a bruise on you they toss you out.
Listen if there's one sure-fire rule that I have learned in this business it's that I don't know anything about human nature.
If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business because we'd be cynical. Well that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
Spend a lot of time talking to customers face to face. You'd be amazed how many companies don't listen to their customers.
If you listen to your fears you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.
With my daughter we do arts and crafts we read a lot we listen to music and we cut the strings off balloons and bounce them around after birthday parties.
The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.
Throughout my life I have always been amazed that people couldn't listen to other people that they couldn't hear their best intent that there seemed to be an enormous need to demonize.
Oh I'm nerdy about science fiction and fantasy and graphic novels and reading and I'm nerdy about board games. My favorite board game is a board game I'm working on right now. It's a game of Napoleonic era naval warfare and it's going to be fun.
