I sang in the choir for years, even though my family belonged to another church.

We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid, the only time I sang was around my family.

I sang in church choir all my life, through elementary school, junior high and high school.

I sang in church, but growing up in the neighborhood, music was more of an expression of relief or entertainment.

The best music of my life I heard at my grandmother's church, this little wooden church up on a hill.

One of the most wonderful memories in my life was when I sang at the Opera House in Sydney. I will never forget that. It is one of the most beautiful Houses I have ever sung in my life.

Music was my joy, my home, the one place I felt happy and secure.

I went to church with my grandparents sometimes and I loved it.

I sang on Church Street, every place that had a stage.

My mother raised me in the church. I was not allowed to stay home on Sunday; there was no option. I sang in the choir all the way up until I went to college.
