I was a good sight reader and I could sing two or three of these jingles a day. An orchestra would come in for half an hour, and then the singers would come in and knock 'em out, and go on to the next one. I was the voice of Budweiser and Almond Joy. ↗

There weren't a lot of girl singers around. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were the guys I looked up to. ↗

Since I started composing I have always worked with series of tempos, even superimposed the music of different groups of musicians, of singers, instrumentalists who play and sing in different tempos simultaneously and then meet every now and then in the same tempo. ↗

Sometimes songwriters and singers forget that. They get a melody in their head and the notes will take precedence, so that they wind up forcing a word onto a melody. It doesn't ring true. ↗

I have been singing for the last 50 years, you know, so I deserve a break. Besides, there are talented singers around who can do justice to their work. ↗

It's very much like opera singers. They do the same thing. The first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, the thing they think about is their voice and how to take care of it. ↗

A lot of what I have always done is do other singers. ↗

And the thing that I always tried to do with important singers when I met them was to sit down and record everything they knew, give them a first real run-through of their art. ↗

I never call myself a singer, ever. I never will. I've always been really embarrassed about my voice. I've never been confident about it. I think it's a little bit better now than when I first started. There are people I admire who are genuinely brilliant singers and I know the difference between what they can do and what I can do. ↗
