“When I was young, I never bought records because my brother Joseph played saxophone and had a record player. I loved listening to his records: The Dorsey Brothers, Duke Ellington, all the big American jazz bands, and vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Ernestine Anderson, and Kitty White, a singer from the US who was a friend of Nina Simone. Nobody in America seems to know about her, but she was quite popular in South Africa.” KnowsBigsSeemsAmericaYoungWhiteRecordsPlayerBrotherListeningBandJazzSouthSingersMy BrotherSouth AfricaDukesSaxophoneKittiesNinaVocalistJazz BandRecord Players Author:Miriam Makeba
“Yes; my brother Bobby used to distribute records at King Records. I had a job there, too, packing records up and shipping them off. But I always wanted to play sessions at Stax, so I figured out a way to do it.” WayPlayWantedJobsUsedRecordsBrotherKingsMy BrotherSessionPackingShipping Author:Donald Dunn

“I grew up in a very musical household. My brother had KISS and Van Halen records, but my parents loved country and show tunes, so I had all of those records when a kid. I pretty much knew exactly what I was going to do at a young age. I loved album covers, I loved listening to a record and staring at the art while listening to it. When I got older and discovered paining, drawing and PhotoShop, I was able to do both simultaneously; I enjoy making both.” ArtCountryShowsKidsAgeAbleYoungParentEnjoyRecordsBrotherListeningGrewKissingGrew UpMusicalAlbumsDrawingStaringMy BrotherTunesHouseholdVansYoung AgeVan HalenPhotoshopAlbum CoversShow Tunes Author:Piggy D.
“I listened to my first comedy album in 6th grade. It was Bill Cosby. My brother and I would play it over and over on a Fisher Price record player. A friend in high school also introduced me to Richard Pryor. I wasn't writing material back then, but I would say funny stuff. I was good at making fun of people's moms.
