career funny solo
Having a solo career is a funny thing.
boys careers ideas
Like all soul singers, I grew up singing in church but sometimes I would leave early and sit in the car listening to gospel band, The Blind Boys of Alabama. Hearing their lead singer Clarence made me connect the idea of church and show business and see how I could make a career singing music that stirred the soul.
artist years careers
The biggest honor of my career was when I won R&B Artist of the Year back in the 1970s. I look at that as a major honor.
record watched
I've watched the world crash and burn in every sense. I've watched the record industry crash and burn; politically I've watched it crash and burn, financially crash and burn.
home original specialize taking
I specialize in early homes, and what I care about the most is renovating a home and taking it back to its original construction idea.
facets few life lives mostly network rural shows
I've been watching RFD-TV for a few years. As a person who lives mostly in the country, I appreciate a network that shows the many facets of rural life.
typical
The song 'Laughing Down Crying' is not a typical Daryl song.
call stuff total verses
I've always been a spontaneous singer. And all the stuff that you hear on the end of the songs, what they call the ad libs - that just comes out of my head. That's not thought out at all. I have the verses and the choruses, and then after that it's total improvisation.
likes
I've always been a guy who likes to stretch my limits - to find out if I have any, really.
extreme
You externalise extreme emotions, and you look at them objectively and understand them from a different standpoint.
time
Who knows what the right time to get married is?
caught diseases fairly four stuff treated
I have four different diseases I'm being treated for, and I got lucky. I caught it fairly early. Neurologically, it does stuff to people. It's really nasty.
advocating crossover music
I'd like to see more crossover between white and black music. That's something I've been advocating for years.
Obscurity is just obscurity. There's no romance in obscurity.
