“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

“Early on, before rock 'n' roll, I listened to big band music - anything that came over the radio - and music played by bands in hotels that our parents could dance to. We had a big radio that looked like a jukebox, with a record player on the top. The radio/record player played 78rpm records. When we moved to that house, there was a record on there, with a red label. It was Bill Monroe, or maybe it was the Stanley Brothers. I'd never heard anything like that before. Ever. And it moved me away from all the conventional music that I was hearing.” BigsHouseParentRecordsPlayerHeardRocksBrotherBandRedBillsMovedRadioHearingLabelsHotelRock N RollConventionalStanleyJukeboxRecord Players Author:Bob Dylan
“I used to play my records aloud until one night my mother was like, "This is too loud. I'm not having it," and so I put on headphones. But the headphones didn't stretch all the way to my bed from the record player, so I had to sleep on the floor in order to hear the records. I slept on the floor right next to the record player until I was probably 19 years old.” WayYearsPlayUsedMotherNightOrderNextSleepRecordsPlayerBedLoudOne NightHeadphonesRecord Players Author:Lauryn Hill

“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.
