I enjoyed listening to it, but I didn't think I could do it.

I have eighteen titles in the German language. I had a number one song in 1965.

On that show, I did country and some rock, too, whatever record I had out at the time, I'd sing that.

I didn't realize how many true Rockabilly fans there were here in America.

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.

It really is, to see that this kind of music is still so popular.

But, we didn't have all the media that we do today.

And it wasn't until '84 when I was first asked to come to Sweden and do an album and concert tour.

It seems like the good things that have happened in my career are things that you don't try to plan and push, and make it happen, it just seems to happen.

If I needed to record, I'd head to the coast or Nashville, one or the other.

I enjoyed listening to it, but I didn't think I could do it.

They're dressing like in the 50's when they come out to the shows, and many of them have vintage cars.

You know, no one steered people's careers in those days, I don't think, like they do today.

None of the other guys in the band really sang, so that's when I brought Roy Clark in.

I learned so much about recording and about singing on records from Ken Nelson.

Right, different generations come along, and discover the music, I think.

I have some of the old videos of my performances on it.

If something pops in my mind and it's easy, I write it.

As I go back and listen, the other girls weren't singing quite like I was.

Well, I didn't really have a plan. I just wanted a hit.

Yeah, they let me do whatever I wanted to.

There wasn't so many ISSUES like there are today. It was a simpler time.

I loved Carl Perkins, Jerry lee Lewis... not only were they personal friends.

So, it's nice to know that you've inspired someone to do their life's work.

You could have a hit in California that no one had heard of in Oklahoma.

I really appreciate people like Rosie coming out and saying I've inspired them.

I'm still learnin'. I pick up something from every performer I watch.

My romantically favorite era is 78, 79 listening to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 4, the live tapes, echo chamber and break beats.

So our ears got used to listening to jazz in the place that it was that the bass player could not play. No one really realized it and really addressed it until the bass players who could play their instrument came along and started doing something with it.

I love listening to Radio Head's 'Everything in its Right Place' because it's all major chords, it makes you feel really good. It's soothing, it's got a beautiful voice, crazy textures. When I'm down I listen to that song and it really makes me feel good.

I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.

Fancy your having no sunshine in London yesterday! Here it was glorious, like full summer, and I sat up with the window wide open, listening to the discourse of two amorous thrushes.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

I just love listening to the laughter.

I was up until all hours of the night, listening to stories, meeting great old comedians.

There are many benefits to this process of listening. The first is that good listeners are created as people feel listened to. Listening is a reciprocal process - we become more attentive to others if they have attended to us.

I started listening to music when I wrote when I had three sons at home.

My playing started to develop through the Miles Davis stuff I was listening to.

The storytelling gift is innate: one has it or one doesn't. But style is at least partly a learned thing: one refines it by looking and listening and reading and practice - by work.

Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening.

Whatever had been on the radio in the '60s; I mean we were always listening to the radio.

Because of the changes in the Padres team I played with last year, I felt like a veteran recently when I worked out with Jason Kendall and he told me he's liked listening to my records since he was a kid!

I think listening to real classic soul material made me learn how to feel music that's sung.

All of my style came from listening to records.

I had to be at least 8 or 9; I was listening to everything on the radio. You name it, I heard every song.

You can do and use the skills that you have. The schools need you. The teachers need you. Students and parents need you. They need your actual person: your physical personhood and your open minds and open ears and boundless compassion, sitting next to them, listening and nodding and asking questions for hours at a time.

Indeed - judicious, consistent parenting is a dream of mine. No judgements, learning space and listening carefully are my goals.

It was very hard to get any records, so the only source for us to really hear what was happening was listening to the Voice of America. We would be taping all the broadcast and then sharing the tapes and talking about it.

I've learned that I get blocked when my subconscious mind is telling me that I've taken the work in a wrong direction, and that once I start listening to what my subconscious is trying to tell me, I can work out the problem and get moving again.
