SONGSTERS SPEAK

JEROME KERN FIND YOUR OWN METIER, YOUR STYLE, AND PERFECT IT. LEARN TO BE YOU. SOPHIE TUCKER SIZE DOESN’T MATTER, IF YOU CAN SING AND MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH. BING CROSBY I”M A PHRASER, NOT A SINGER. I THINK ABOUT A SONG’S LYRIC, ITS PURPORT, NOT ITS NOTES. THAT WAY IT’S MORE NATURAL. AL JOLSON HUMOR IS THE INTELLIGENCE THAT LETS US SEE THE REAL NATURE OF THINGS. OSCAR LEVANT I DON’T DRINK; I DON’T LIKE IT. IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD. COLE PORTER MY SOLE INSPIRATION IS A TELEPHONE CALL FROM A PRODUCER.

OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN I HAND RICHARD ROGERS A LYRIC AND GET OUT OF HIS WAY. ETHEL MERMAN MARY MARTIN IS ALL RIGHT, IF YOU LIKE TALENT.

IRVING BERLIN THE HARD THING ABOUT SUCCESS IS HAVING TO KEEP ON BEING A SUCCESS. DUKE ELLINGTON PLAYING “BOP” IS LIKE “SCRABBLE” WITHOUT ANY VOWELS.

RUDY VALLEE BY SOME MIRACLE, A BANAL VOICE THAT STARTS ITS JOURNEY AT THE MICROPHONE FILLS THE AIR AT ITS DESTINATION WITH BEAUTY.
