Famous quotes containing the word song:

    I am black and beautiful, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
    Bible: Hebrew, Song of Solomon 1:5.

    I can’t stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it ain’t music, it’s close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.
    Billie Holiday (1915–1959)
